I noticed a small muscle-like bulge near my anal area but there's no bleeding. Could this be piles or an external hemorrhoid? Do I need surgery for this or are there other treatment options?

A small, muscle-like bulge near the anus without bleeding could be an external hemorrhoid, also known as piles. Hemorrhoids are swollen veins that can develop inside or outside the anus and rectum. While often harmless and may resolve on their own, it's important to consult a doctor for diagnosis and to rule out other potential causes, especially if you experience pain or bleeding

My husband has been dealing with an anal issue for about 35 days now. He's really uncomfortable whether he's walking or sitting, and there are three lumps near his anus. We're living in different cities because of work so I'm worried. He says it's painful and that he's having regular bowel movements. He's also feeling a bit feverish and can't really concentrate at work. He's been doing warm compresses with Betadine twice a day, but since yesterday it's not helping either. What could be going on, and how can we help him feel better?
Immediate action required: 1. Wash the wound with soap and water. 2. Apply antibiotic ointment and cover with a bandage. 3. Seek medical attention within 24 hours for a tetanus shot and rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). 4. Monitor your dog's behavior and health for the next 10 days. 5. Consult your veterinarian about vaccinating your dog as soon as possible. Precaution: Rabies risk is higher if your dog isn't vaccinated.

I've been reading about rectal prolapse and saw something about contradictions for surgery does that mean surgery isn't an option for a complete prolapse? I'm worried because my symptoms are getting worse and I'm not sure what to do next
