Posted on Fri, 31 Oct 2014
Question: Do I have hemorrhoids and didn't know until now? Please help in identifying what I'm feeling.

Two days ago I played with anal toy and now my anus (inside) is itchy from time to time. I've also noticed a small lump outside my anus that sometimes is there and sometimes not.

Brief Answer:
Anal fissure due to use of anal toy...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

1. You are reporting to be playing with anal toy two days ago. If you did not use any lubricants or gloves when inserting the toy in the anus, it has lacerated (traumatized) the anal mucosa.

The final result is itchiness and hemorrhoids (internal and external=small lump outside your anus that disappears from time in time).

2. I advise to:
- increase water intake
- keep a good anal hygiene
- apply hemorrhoid cream containing hydrocortisone and zinc oxide
- avoid playing with anal toy again and avoid anal sex until improvement

If no improvement within a few days, should consult with proctologist for further evaluations.

Hope it helped!
