Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: A week ago, a small hard lump the size of a peanut was found from the vulva to the anus. It doesn't hurt or itch when pressed. In the past few months, small hard lumps have also grown in different positions in this area, and they disappear after some time. There are no other lumps elsewhere, but there is a pustule. What is this, why did it appear in this location, and how should it be treated?Medical history: Prone to getting hot easily, and has chronic pharyngitis this year. Has been drinking herbal tea.
Doctor's answer:
There is a relatively large hard lump behind the anus, which seems to be spherical. It should be considered as hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are soft venous clusters formed by the expansion and curvature of venous plexuses in the submucosal layer of the distal rectum and the subcutaneous layer of the anal canal.Suggestions: Relax your mind, alleviate concerns, maintain adequate sleep, abstain from alcohol and smoking. Eat more vegetables and fruits. Drink plenty of water. Keep bowel movements smooth. Your condition may be external hemorrhoids. Generally, it can be treated in the colorectal department of hospitals. The lump may gradually subside on its own.
