Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Pea sized lumps that is painless and does not bleed in the anus can be due to one of the following reasons:
Cyst.
Thrombosed hemorrhoid.
Polyp.
Rarely carcinoma.

Hence the commonest cause is usually a benign so stop worrying at the moment and let us wait and watch for the findings on an actual examination.

I hope this answer helps you.
