I'm experiencing this pain just above my rectum for the last few days, and it's getting pretty intense, especially when I'm moving around on the bed or walking quickly. I don't feel anything abnormal there, but the pain kicks in when I apply pressure to that area. Do you think this might be inflammation or perhaps something else? What type of doctor should I see for an early check-up?

You should consult a proctologist or gastroenterologist for an early examination. They will assess your symptoms, perform a physical examination and possibly imaging studies to diagnose the cause of the pain. Common causes include hemorrhoids, anal fissures, proctalgia fugax or pelvic floor dysfunction. Self-care measures include applying warm compresses, maintaining good bowel habits and managing stress.

I'm a bit worried because I've got this painful lump on the left side of my anus. There's no redness or anything visible on the skin, but it's definitely there and it's been about a week now. It hurts when I sit, walk, or touch it. I'm not sure who to see about thisshould I consult a gynecologist, a physician, or maybe a gastric specialist? What do you think?

You may be experiencing a perianal abscess. I recommend you to see a physician for further evaluation and treatment. You may be prescribed antibiotics such as Augmentin 625mg to help with the infection. In some cases, surgical drainage may be necessary to treat the abscess effectively. It is important to seek medical attention promptly to prevent any complications.

I've tried Ayurveda meds and followed a high-fiber diet with fruits, but the pain hasn't gone away. Now I'm using Himalaya Pilex ointment and tablets, but still no relief.
