What Causes Lump On Outside Of Anus And Intermittent Anal Bleeding?

hi, i am a 25 year old female, for the last couple of years I have noticed a lump on the outside of my anus. sometimes it enlarges & goes hard, and I find it uncomfortable to poo, other times it is barely noticeable but still evident outside my anus. At present it is probably the size of a 1p-5p coin and is hard to the touch. The more I go to the loo & wipe it the worse it becomes. I sometimes have to use sudocream. I also experience anal bleeding sometimes too when I have a poo (it doesn't necessarily have to be a strained one). i did go to the doctors over a year ago & got told that it had probably been there all my life & that i just hadn't noticed although I am sure this is not the case. What could it be?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi. Thanks for your elucidate history and findings.

This is a classical finding of the interno-external piles ( hemorrhoids).

This degree of piles needs an active treatment . I would advise you to visit a Surgeon who deals with this ( proctologist if you have) or Gastro surgeon.
You can get a proper examination to know the degree of piles and get further investigated and treated.
Most probably you need a surgery if you want a permanent cure.
