Question
Hello doctor,
Recently, I discovered that there is a hard lump near the anus, which does not move, the size of a chopstick tip, it feels painful to touch. The body is sometimes tired as if it has no strength, sometimes it is healthy and normal. Last year, I had blood in my stools. I went to the doctor and he said that I was constipated, so my anal fissure was bleeding. The doctor asked me if a hard lump near the anus is a sign of what disease? I would like to consult a doctor about my medical condition. I sincerely thank!

Hello,
With the question "A hard lump near the anus is a sign of what disease?" , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
According to your description, it is likely that the hard tumor is an anal polyp or an embolic hemorrhoid. However, you need to visit a gastroenterologist for a closer examination to rule out dangerous diseases such as colorectal cancer, anal canal.
If you still have questions about a hard lump near the anus, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
