Question

I'm dealing with piles after my c-section and it's been about a month now. Plus, there's this swollen mass that's really uncomfortable. I'm breastfeeding my baby, so I'm worried about taking any strong medications. Do you have any suggestions for remedies or precautions I should be considering?

Question

I've been dealing with this small lump about the size of a pea near my anus for months. After I have a bowel movement, it gets bigger and really painful, and I'm also dealing with constipation. I've seen a couple of doctors, and one said it's an anal abscess and gave me meds, but there's been no change. Another doctor gave me different meds that were supposed to be more effective, but no luck there either. I did some reading online and found information on hemorrhoids, so now I'm not sure if it's an anal abscess or hemorrhoids. I read abscesses can be caused by anal sex, but I've never had anal intercourse. I'm really confused and could use some advice on what this might be. Can you help me figure it out?
