There is a hard lump near the anus

The anus of the human body is the channel for excreting feces. Since feces are garbage that the human body no longer needs, they contain a lot of bacteria. Therefore, the anus is often susceptible to bacterial infection. Therefore, you must pay attention to the cleaning of private parts at ordinary times. Some people may suddenly develop a lump near the anus. Let’s take a look at what is going on, shall we?

The possibility of a tumor is not very high, but superficial skin lumps are possible, such as epidermoid cysts, lipomas, neurofibromas, etc. If they become larger, surgical treatment is recommended. After all, the buttocks are a part that is prone to friction. It is recommended to visit the anorectal department for color Doppler ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis or perform direct surgical resection to avoid future complications.

Lipoma is a benign tumor formed by the proliferation of mature adipose tissue. It is more common in adults aged 40 to 50. The tumor is soft, round or lobed, located under the skin and can be pushed; the size of the tumor varies, the small one is as big as a date and can only be felt by hand, and the large one can be raised on the skin surface, but the surface skin is normal. The tumor may be single or multiple, and may be found in any part of the body surface, especially the shoulders, back and abdomen. There are usually no subjective symptoms. Angiolipoma is a special type of lipoma, which is more common in young people and is prone to occur in the lower limbs. It may be painful and tender to touch. During histopathological examination, in addition to large areas of mature fat cells, a large number of hyperplastic blood vessels can be seen in the tumor, and the boundaries of the entire tumor are clear. Lipoma rarely becomes cancerous and generally does not require treatment; if the tumor is large and affects activity, or suddenly increases or ruptures in the near future, it should be surgically removed. Consider thrombosed external hemorrhoids or inflammatory external hemorrhoids, which are often caused by constipation and other reasons and may be accompanied by pain. The likelihood of a tumor is lower.

In this case, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination. Surgery is effective and recovery is quick. Conservative treatment generally uses potassium permanganate sitz baths, topical hemorrhoid ointment, and taking drugs such as aescin to reduce edema. Usually, pay attention to keeping bowel movements smooth and avoid constipation. If necessary, you can use laxatives and do ani exercises frequently, which will help improve symptoms. Please consult your local anorectal doctor for details.

It is considered to be a furuncle, which refers to an acute suppurative disease that occurs in the superficial part of the skin due to fire poison, causing local redness, swelling, heat and pain as the main symptoms. When a boil first appears, apply hot compresses in time and the surrounding skin can be disinfected with 75% alcohol to help localize the boil. When a boil is formed, 10% ichthyol ointment or Chinese herbal hibiscus ointment can be applied externally. If the boil is mature, the surface is soft, and there is a sense of fluctuation, it can be incised and drained. After drainage, apply compound neomycin ointment until it heals.
