How Can A Growing Anus Lump With Pain Be Treated?

I have had a lump in the opening of my anus for a number of months now and it has grown to about the size of a pea and still seems to be growing as it feels like its getting bigger and more painful....was just wondering if this was anything I should worry about? I haven't had any bleeding with it at all just pain

Hello,

It could be hemorrhoid or an abscess. Either way, it is harmless, but you should see your doctor for an examination and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
