I'm dealing with a really painful grape-sized lump on my butt, along with a low-grade fever and headache. I've been using Preparation H, and it offers some relief, but it's temporary. I've never experienced hemorrhoids, so I'm unsure if that's what this is. The veins in my groin area feel sore, and even my taint is affected. I'm hesitant to eat or use the bathroom because every cough sends pain through my entire butt. This started after a cough that I thought was a painful fart, and the pain hasn't stopped, in fact, it's worsened over the past week. Every cough or sneeze now makes me fart. Is this normal and something that'll go away on its own, or should I see a doctor?

Question

I've had both internal and external piles for three days now, and there's this sticky, transparent mucus discharging from them. The lump isn't getting any smaller; it's still hard and just sits outside my anus, causing some mild pain and itchiness. Do you think it's time to consider surgery? Also, is there any way to stop the mucus discharge?

Question

I'm dealing with a piles problem and I'm not sure which type of specialist doctor I should see in allopathic medicine for this. Is it a physician or is there another kind of specialist I should look for? I'm feeling a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance.

Question

I'm 21 and dealing with external piles. I haven't been able to talk to my family about it because it's embarrassing, and now they're interfering with getting a government job. It's been about 6 months since I've had any symptoms like bleeding, pain, or itching, but the lump around my anal area still isn't going away. I do get constipated now and then. What should I do about this, and how can I get rid of the lumps?
