What Are Painful Masses Around The Anus Suggestive Of?

Just today I started to feel discomfort in my buttocks area but then when I urinated I realized it was my anus. As I came to bed I checked in the mirror and I have three masses formed in my anus area. They hurt and bother me when I wipe and walk. I am married. I have not had anal sex with anyone. The last time I had sex with my husband was three weeks ago. I did lift weights yesterday but they were light weights. I am very careful when I use public restrooms. What do I do?

Hello,

* As per my surgical experience, the protruding mass from anus felt when wiping the region after defecation indicates hemorrhoids (piles) which is soft tissue part of the anal canal.

* This issue is usually due to constipation induced pressure over the anal region and not anal sex or light weight lifting.

Kindly follow basic suggestions for better recovery

- drink more liquids as lack of hydration makes soft stool formation difficult

- consume high fiber diet including green leafy veg, cereals, pulses, legumes, organic fresh fruits

- avoid all spices, non-veg, junk foods, dairy fat till possible

- avoid smoking or alcohol if consuming

- bulk-forming laxative as Ispaghula husk or Psyllium husk in case of severe constipation or hard stool

- Sitz bath 2-3 times a day

- avoid over weight-bearing which can worsen the issue

* Consult your doc for the primary examination of piles and further management guidelines to cure it best possible manner.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
