Hello doctor. Lately, I often eat hot spicy food. I saw a small lump in the anus, I thought it was hemorrhoids. Could this be a sign of hemorrhoids please? Ask your doctor to advise you on how to treat it. Thank you.

Hi doctor, can I ask if there was a small lump in my anus recently, it's been bigger, is it hemorrhoids? I went out without bleeding. Looking forward to consulting your doctor. Thank you.

Are internal hemorrhoids soft and soft inside, like a grain of rice, right? I feel outside the anus and see a small lump as small as half a grain of rice, is it internal hemorrhoids?

Answer
Hello!
As you describe, most likely, the lump in the anus you describe is most likely an embolized external hemorrhoid, if it is small and painless, it does not need to be treated.
However, you should see a gastroenterologist. Your doctor will help you diagnose an anal mass and give you an appropriate treatment plan.
