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?

If it was abscess, then it should have been investigated further. Many times, abscess require surgical drainage. I would suggest you get it checked out by a general surgeon in person for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm scheduled for surgery next week for 4th-grade piles, and I'm a bit nervous. My main concern is post-surgerywill I be able to sit comfortably during the five-hour drive home from the hospital?
After piles surgery, it's generally recommended to avoid prolonged sitting (more than 30-45 minutes) for 2-3 weeks to reduce swelling and promote healing; since you have a 5-hour journey home, consider the following: break the journey into smaller segments with regular breaks (every 1-2 hours) to stretch, walk, and rest; use a doughnut-shaped cushion or a pillow to reduce pressure on the surgical site; and follow your surgeon's specific post-operative instructions regarding travel and activity.

I've been dealing with piles and fissures for about a year now and medicines haven't helped much. I'm 25 and really worried should I consider surgery at this point? What would you recommend for my situation?
I can understand your concern. Surgery is the better option.,it won't shrink on its own. You can use pilex ointment for local application.
