What Was The White Smelly Ball Like That Came Out Of The Swollen Bump On The Anus ?

i had what seemingly was a hemorrhoid, but after a full day of having the swollen bump on my anus it suddenly stopped hurting, after going to the bathroom to check it out i noticed a white smelly ball like a white head had came out of the supposed hemorrhoid. It was about the size of a bb and was white.
