Does a lump at the anus mean hemorrhoids? When should you see a doctor? What preparations available at the pharmacy should be used? Can lumps at the anus mean some serious diseases? Don’t rectal lumps have to be hemorrhoids? The question is answered by the drug. Katarzyna Darecka.
Do Rectal Lumps Mean Hemorrhoids?
Good day. I’ve been around for a month or so rectal problems. It started with the feeling of incomplete bowel movements. Later it felt as if I had a lump or something like a lump around my anus. Finally, I decided to do a little research myself, touched the anus while I was showering, and there was actually a large lump. It does not hurt, but I suspect this is why I feel the feeling of incomplete bowel movements. In this regard, I would like to ask if the anus lump is haemorrhoidal?
I don’t want to go to the doctor right now, it’s quite embarrassing for me, so I’d like to try to heal myself. I was thinking about buying one ointments for hemorrhoids, a lot of them are advertised, I have already searched a bit on the Internet. But first, I’d like to know and make sure that the rectal lump is hemorrhoidal. Is there a possibility that this lump means something else and is more dangerous, for example? Or is it not possible and it surely means hemorrhoids? I will be grateful for your help.
The doctor suggests what lumps in the anus can be
It is always worth visiting a Family Doctor – he will collect a detailed interview regarding the occurrence a lump in the area of the anus, family medical history and physical examination, he will also perform a rectal examination, i.e. examine the finger through the anus. This allows us to conclude the presence of hemorrhoids (or hemorrhoids), their severity, and whether they are inflamed. Your doctor will also be able to decide which treatment is most appropriate depending on the severity of the haemorrhoids. It is worth going to the doctor also for this reason, because the “lump” in the anal area may not turn out to be hemorrhoids, but an abscess in the perianal area – the treatment is then completely different and medical intervention is necessary. Consultation with a family doctor as part of the National Health Fund can now be arranged and held online via the halodoctor.pl portal.
It should be remembered that you can try to prevent hemorrhoids by not staying long in the sitting position, and when passing stools, do not strain the abdominal pumping station and do not hold your breath – this causes an increase in pressure in the hemorrhoids located in the lower part of the rectum. You should also not hold back in passing stool, pass it as soon as possible after the feeling of urgency. It is worth including large amounts of fiber in your diet and drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day and taking care of daily physical activity.
In order to relieve symptoms such as pain or itching, you can use auxiliary suppositories for haemorrhoids with hyaluronic acid or regeneration ointment Anusir.
The procedure of removing hemorrhoids using the Barron method, i.e. You can perform erasing of hemorrhoids in a private Arkmedic clinic. Buy the treatment on the medonetmarket.pl portal.
In addition to the preventive measures listed in the above paragraph, which are the absolute basis in the fight against hemorrhoids, you can also use over-the-counter ointments at the pharmacy. It is also recommended to soak the anus in plain warm water for 10-15 minutes 2-3 times a day. Usually, such treatment is enough to heal the troublesome problem of hemorrhoids. However, if the primary care physician decides otherwise, he or she may refer the patient to a proctology clinic, where a specialist treating haemorrhoids on a daily basis will be able to determine if the patient is suitable for more surgical treatment – usually these are patients whose bleeding from the haemorrhoids recurs despite conservative treatment and when the haemorrhoids are very painful. These are minimally invasive procedures, can be performed in a doctor’s office or as one-day hospitalization, and usually do not require general anesthesia.
