Question : I have a large internal lump above my rectum

Answered by Dr. Dr. Ivan Romich (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
possible perianal abscess

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
If this is painful and red then it may indicate perianal abscess or inlammed pylonidal sinus. Both these lesions require surgical incision and drainage and rarely it can be treated by antibiotics. If this is not painful then it may be lipoma and in this case it doesnt require emergent therapy. Wish you good health. Regards
