Well I woke up this morning n I noticed this lump when I was walking.I felt a funny feeling next to my anus.I checked and u cant see it without spreading the hips apart.The lump is about the size of a pea and its a little dark.It doesnt hurt when I sit or anything it doesnt even hurt when I use the toilet.It only hurts ocassionaly when im bending over to sit but the pain isnt that much its very light.Im really worried because im only 15.Any one have any idea wat ti iz id really appreciate the help thanks alot.

I have a clearish (almost greyish, if not clear) bump that seems to start inside my anus and extend to a small bit outward (but only on one side, it does not cover the hole obviously). Poking at it, it feels almost gel-like. It doesn't hurt when I use the bathroom unless I happen to be (i don't know how to say this delicately) pushing extremely hard. It doesn't hurt when i'm sitting/walking/etc. Unless I happen to have used the bathroom previously, and the pain is very mild, mostly unnoticable, and lasts for maybe 20 minutes. I've tried to research it and i've ultimately decided I don't know what it is. Any help would be much appreciated

thanks,

john

Hi there... much the same as previous posts however the lump I have is not at all painful and about 1cm away from my anus! Any ideas?!

Thanking you in advance

DONT WORRY GUYS!!!
i had the same problem. a small lump a bit bigger than a pea, that was sort of clearish/greyish which looked sort of like my intestines were coming out of my butt (sorry to be so graphic, heh). i was freaking out because when i typed "anal lump" into google "Anal Cancer" popped up. YIKES! but i looked into it. its just a hemorrhige (sp?). okay, breathe now, you're going to live. im not a doctor but the symptoms are the same & im only 20 so its highly unlikely that ive got cancer.

a hemorrhige is an inflamed blood vessel that can either be inside or outside your anus & the population is HIGHLY likely to get one before age 50. they usually go away within a couple of days. you can get oitment for them, or in severe cases if it really bothers you, you can get it surgically removed.

what causes hemorrhiges can be A) being pregnant & the weight of your baby on your intestines B) hard stool which aggrivates the vessels C) pushing to hard (heh) D) many other factors can contribue to them.

don't worry & search em for more info.

they're called hemorrhoids.
if it is really bothering you, you can try to push it back in your butt, which will relieve the pain. they may pop & bleed, just keep them clean & its not a big deal. also, if you've got blood on the outside of your poo (fresh, not mixed in with the poo) then thats most likely an internal hemmorrhoid. same deal, not a big issue but i you can get it removed if its a huge inconvienence to you.

hi i am 18 and i recently found a lump near the bottom left of my anus and i don't know if its a hemmorroid. it is black or blue like described in some of the others and it is about the size of a pea maybe a bit larger. sometimes it hurts or somewhat itches when i clamp my butt together and i can push it in but it comes back to the place where i am describing. it started hurting out of nowhere and then i looked in to it cuz i thought it was a rash at first and i found this lump. can anyone possibly tell me if it's an external hemmorroid and if it will go away anytime. if any one can will they inform me ASAP.

i posted on here last august about a lump on my anus and although the pain has gona and has been gone since about a week after it appeared, the lump is still there. Is this normal? or should it have disappeared by now?? i don't know what to do about it because i'm scared that if i touch it then it will hurt again.

any help greatly appreciated

I have pretty much the same thing people here describe as a dark pea.
but the thing that is worrying me is that my mom just recently went into surgery for hemmeroids and it turned out to be cancer. Also i've had mine for probably two years now. what is this ointment called? and will it permanently get rid of my horrible dark pea?

I also have a lump partly inside and partly outside of my anus. It doesn't hurt but it bled quite a bit last week. The part sticking outside is probably pea sized as described by others. I also noticed a cut or something on the outside of the lump. I have been worrying nonstop about anal cancer or something like that. Please someone tell me what is wrong. I have no health insurance and am broke as hell right now so I can't go to the doctor.

kinda weird and embarrassing but when i try to go to the bathroom a lump-like bubble forms that comes out of my anus then when im done going to the bathroom it goes away.
any ideas what it could be?!?!

Yes, it's nothing else but that you have an external hemorroid, some people call them a pile or piles.

If it is basically swollen, why bother with it?

You can seek a diagnosis with your GP.

I just found the same thing this morning. Thought it would be a pile or whatever. It's on the inside wall of the anus, sucks. Hurts a little just feels weird like a cramp. About the size of a pea. Going to the doctor would kind of suck because he'll be prying around down there but if you have had it for longer then a month get your ass to a doctor. The longer it stays around the worse your health could become.
I'll let you know if the doctor says anything.

I've got a pea shaped bump below my anus. it hurts a lot if i try to go to the bathroom. my family has always had cancer. im afraid that i have cancer to. I am also afraid that it might get bigger and block the hole. I looked today and it looks like a big black bump. i dont want to talk to my family cause i dont want to worry them if it is something bad. im only 15 please help me.

Don't EVER hesitate or wait to talk to your doctor or parents about weird things you find on your body. The longer you wait, the harder/more painful it could be to fix the problem.

Disclaimer: I AM NOT A DOCTOR! This is NOT medical advice, only information on anal cancer!

I was 38 at diagnosis & that's considered young. I haven't heard of anyone younger than mid-30s and it's usually diagnosed in people over 60. A-C is primarily caused by HPV, but you don't have to have receptive anal sex to hit the A-C jackpot. It's also very rare (we don't even get a ribbon) in that around 5080 men and women (fairly equally) are diagnosed every year.

My radiation oncologist told me it takes 10-15 YEARS to show up as a tumor, although pre-cancerous lesions can be detected and removed earlier IF your doctor does a thorough exam. Therefore, it would be highly unlikely, bordering on a medical miracle, for anyone in their teens or early 20s to have anal cancer simply because of the length of time it takes for a tumor to form.

It is far more likely that a significant lack of fiber in your diet is causing you to be constipated with small, rock-hard, stinky bowel movements that you strain to pass. The strain then pops out a vein near your anus & bingo, you have a hemorrhoid.

My "journey through anal cancer" (what a stupid saying) has taught me that a proper poo should be soft but so much that it leaves streaks on the toilet. It should be a deep brown, rather banana-like in shape/size and while it does smell, it does not clear the room or make you gag for fresh air. Normal BM frequency is 3x per week up to 3x per day.

If, after changing to a proper diet, your symptoms continue--ESPECIALLY if you have bright blood in your poo, seek the advice of your physician immediately.

"a proper poo should be soft but *NOT* so much that it leaves streaks on the toilet"

Sorry for the missing word. It makes all the difference!

same here mine drains all the time and leaves this clear semi-chunky substance . Grose i know. Please HELP

I have skin that is blocking my exit shoot (if you know what i mean) lol
its not really funny though.
Uhm it showed up just yesterday, and ive been searching for help/information.
Basically, there is a flap of skin in the center of the anus, making it difficult poo. Its verry awkward and wierd, so i havent grown the balls to go see a doc.
Any advice guyss?

Ive had a similar problem a lump on the anus area, slightly uncomfortable and a bit painful but just with going to the bathroom. It turned out to be an external hemorrhoid. I have been using Preparation H these few days and its been shrinking and I'm more comfortable.

*** this message goes out to all of you! You should not be embarrassed to tell anyone, it happens to everyone in some point in their lives and you should get it checked out before it gets worse. YOUR HEALTH I'S MORE IMPORTANT!!!
