Suggest Treatment For The Lumps Around The Anus

Hi, I hope you can help me, in the past i had really poor hygiene and I have had these fleshy lumps around the opening of my anus. I really don't want to go to a doctor, i've had them for about 5 years and never told anybody. I'm scared that I'm going to find out I have something life threatening. I really hope you can help me

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Since you have fleshy lumps around the anus for 5 years that a a very long period it is almost certain that they may not be anything that threaten life and how can one know without being actually examined by a General Surgeon and biopsied if required.
The most probable causes are:
These can be prolapsed piles not causing any symptoms.
Anal warts.
Hemangioma and so on.
This can be diagnosed by the following:
Per-rectal examination and ano-proctoscopy should get you the most appropriate diagnosis.
Get operated if these are piles or wart and if anything suspicious the mass will be sent for biopsy.
