Pain Around Butthole, Lump Between Anus And Scrotum, Pain Appeared While Lifting Heavy Treadmill. Reason ?
Hi, About 3 days ago I started having pain around my butthole. Then my girlfriend looked and theres about a 1 inch diameter lump between anus and scrotum, off to the left side. It comes and goes with pain. Sometimes it hurts insanely! Other times just a nagging annoyance. Also it itches randomly.
Visited my Dr yesterday. Nurse practioner thought I have a hemroid and hernia. Looked up images online; it doesn't look like either of them.
And 3 days ago I was lifting a heavy treadmill. That's when pain occurred.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Hernias are protrusion through a defect in the wall or cavity that holds it.
Lifting heavy objects can aggravate a hernia, so the fact that the pain started after you lifted a heavy object may point to this being a possible cause of your pain.
Hemorrhoids would normally present with bright red blood on wiping as well as anal discomfort when they are inflamed. They can also be aggravated by lifting or straining.
Some persons have peri anal abscesses or infections but this would present with persistent pain.
The treatment of the hernia and hemorrhoids vary so you may want to determine which one of these is present by seeing your doctor.
I hope this helps
