How Can A Polyp In The Anus Be Treated?

I have a mushy type polyp on the anus. I was told today that I have the herpes virus 2. I am going to my GYN. I tested negative for HIV. I noticed a small bump. On my anus and it has grown it doesn't bleed. I had diarrhea most recently and it burned. Now when I defecate it doesn't burn. Do I go toa Proctologist? Is this related to my herpes? It has been on my rectum for a few months but in last week and a half it has grown. I can lift it out of the anus and squeeze it.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Yes, you should definitely consult proctoscopist and get done proctoscopic examination of your growing polyp.
Herpes infection can be the cause for your polyp.
You need surgical removal of polyp and histopathological examination of polyp to rule out malignancy.
If not treated surgically then it can grow further and cause Constipation, infection or bleeding.
So better to get done proctoscopic examination first and if needed surgical correction is needed to avoid future complications.
