I have a lump near my anus, which is only slightly raised but quite hard. It is slightly red, and quite painful when pressed…I know it’s there when I am walking around sometimes and when I sit down. It seems to have a very slight dishcarge, which is a white-pink colour. Is this a hemorrhoid? If so what is the best treatment? I have never had anything like this before, I don’t have any problems going to the toilet or anything. If it isn’t a hemorrhoid what could it be? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I was talking on the phone to my friend…and i’ve been going to the toilet more often and i thought i just needed to fart…and i did but poop came out whats wrong with me??

For the last 3 years I’ve been suffering from regular bleeding episodes when going to the toilet. This may typically occur once every couple of months and last for about a week with bright red blood filling the bowel! As I am currently in remission from an unrelated rare form of cancer, every symptom I experience is always a bit of a concern. I’ve had a colonoscopy some 12-months ago and all was clear, been to the GP on a number of occasions and his conclusion was hemorrhoids which I can try using ointment, live with it or consider surgery! Regular checks with my oncologist seem to present with no cancer related issues, but I still get quite alarmed and concerned when I see a blood stained toilet bowel! Any knowledgeable and educated opinions would be appreciated.
Oh, I also didn’t mention that I am not experiencing any physical discomfort other than occasional itchiness!
