View allmy dad noticed a painful lump near his anus and when we checked with a torch, there's a protruding lump on the side of the anus. it's making it hard for him to pass stool since it seems to be partially blocking the opening. could this lump be cancerous or is there a way to treat it without surgery?
It sounds like your dad may have an anal abscess or possibly an external hemorrhoid, both of which can cause a painful lump and difficulty passing stool. While cancer is less common, it’s important he gets a prompt evaluation by a doctor for an accurate diagnosis. Treatment often starts with conservative measures like warm sitz baths, pain relief, and stool softeners, but some cases may need minor procedures or surgery. Please advise him to see a healthcare professional soon.

I'm 22 and have been dealing with external hemorrhoids for over a month now.
