I'm dealing with a lump near my anus that's been there for two days now. It's starting to get a bit smaller, but I'm still not feeling back to normal. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what's causing it. What could be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an anal lump, which could be due to various causes like hemorrhoids, an abscess, or even a small infection. Since it's improving but not fully gone, its important to keep the area clean and consider seeing a healthcare provider if it persists or worsens, to rule out any underlying conditions.

View alli think i might have piles because theres a lot of pain near my anus and a small red bulge what treatments are available without surgery and if surgery is needed how long will the recovery take
If you suspect you have piles (hemorrhoids), several non-surgical treatments can be used to manage pain and swelling. These include home remedies, over-the-counter medications, and office-based procedures like rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy. If non-surgical treatments are not effective or if you have severe symptoms, surgery may be necessary, with a typical recovery time of two to four weeks

I've been applying Smuth cream for my piles as prescribed, and it's been helping to reduce the size. But now, I've started experiencing really itchy sensations around my anus and the area beneath my scrotum. It's gotten to the point where I can't stop scratching, and now there's this flaky, dry skin developing and peeling off when I do. The doctor suggested I try a sitz bath, but I'm just wondering if there's anything else I should be doing or if this is something to be concerned about? Its really uncomfortable, so any advice would be appreciated.

I have piles but no pain so far and my doctor recommended surgery should I consider it right away or try medication first to see if it helps
It's generally recommended to try less invasive treatments like medication before considering surgery for piles, even if your doctor recommended it. If you're not experiencing significant pain or complications, a course of medication might resolve the issue without the need for surgery. However, it's crucial to discuss your concerns and treatment options with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific case.
