Anal abscess vs hemorrhoid

Common Questions and Answers about Anal abscess vs hemorrhoid

abscess

Avatar m tn The lump could be a prolapsed hemorrhoid, a skin tag, a benign rectal tumor, a rectal polyp, a rectal abscess, genital wart or a hematoma. Please consult your doctor for confirmed diagnosis. For infection any antibacterial cream will help. You can sit in a tub of warm water for 10-15 mins twice a day. If it is hemorrhoids then there are creams available in the market to apply locally. You will also need to take something to avoid constipation. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn Thanks. Well for the last few months or so I've had blood stains in my tissue paper. I do suffer a lot of constipation and I strain when I pass stool.
Avatar m tn I tried looking to see if there was anything noticeable and there seems to be (and I might be wrong) a little off colored spot where I am feeling pain, slightly redder than the surrounding tissue. Is this an anal fissure, ulcer, hemorrhoid, or something more serious? I am planning on seeing my doctor but would like your opinion as well.
Avatar m tn I also wanted to note I developed a large hemorrhoid on the outside of anus. This was diagnosed by ER doctor today. She said it was NOT an abscess.

Avatar n tn The lump could be a prolapsed hemorrhoid, a skin tag, a benign rectal tumor, a rectal polyp, a rectal abscess, or a hematoma. You will need a clinical examination followed by probably a STD panel or excision biopsy. Please consult your doctor for confirmed diagnosis. I can understand the embarrassment, but without a clinical examination by a doctor you trust, diagnosis and treatment is not possible. Take care!
Avatar f tn Hi and sorry the late reply. I dont believe they are related. Hemmerroids are a balloned out peice of tissue in the anus and nodes are a filer for infection. Ive never heard of a hemorrid getting infected but i guess it could. If your worried best to see a doctor esp if you have a swollen node in that area. Proably nothing but best to have it checked out Let us know how your doing.
Avatar m tn Could be a thrombosed hemorrhoid by the way you describe it or an perirectal abscess which can in turn, continue to grow until it hurts unbearably. In either case I highly recommend medical attention. You wouldn't believe what doctors see in their daily lives..
Avatar n tn Since you have a past history of hemorrhoids, yes, an internal hemorrhoid is a possibility. If the mass is above the internal anal sphincter it is an internal hemorrhoid. You have many symptoms that are commonly seen in internal hemorrhoids. They can become painful when inflamed or infected. It is not visible externally nor can be felt at the anal opening until it partially or fully prolapses.
Avatar m tn I read that if the lump is possible to be reinserted then it is a prolapsed hemorrhoid and that anal cancer would not move in and out etc. I am also sitting a lot and I am a smoker which may worsen a hemorrhoid from what I read. What do you think?
Avatar f tn A hemorrhoid is not an STI, and hemorrhoids are never a sign of one. Are they sure it was a hemorrhoid? It's not impossible for that to become infected, but it's considered rare for that to happen. Perhaps the fingering caused a cut and that got infected? Hemorrhoids can need to be lanced, but being infected is rare. In any case, fingering does not transmit STIs, and while unprotected oral can transmit them, none would cause anything that needs to be lanced.
Avatar f tn but now that i have the hemorrhoid can we still have anal sex or is it a big no no?? it doesnt bother me i didnt even know i had it until i asked the doctor to check if i had one cuz i know alot of women get them after they deliver. so can i do it safely or no??
Avatar f tn If it is an external hemorrhoid a bulge will most likely form in the anal canal. This bulge is from the swollen blood vessels in the hemorrhoid, you can get over the counter creams to shrink the bulge if it occurs.
Avatar n tn The most common cause of anal lumps and pain is hemorrhoids which may be managed with hemorrhoid cream and stool softeners. Increase oral fluid and dietary fiber intake may also help. If it persists, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Direct clinical examination is important. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn The lump could be a prolapsed hemorrhoid, a skin tag, a benign rectal tumor, a rectal polyp, a rectal abscess, genital wart or a hematoma. Most of these lumps can bleed. You will need a clinical examination followed by probably a STD panel or excision biopsy. Please consult your doctor for confirmed diagnosis. Take care!
Avatar f tn I had clumpy white cottage cheese like discharge that actually turned pink since I had some light bleeding. I also had the same thing in my rectum but had also developed a nasty hemorrhoid from the anal. I felt like it was a usual yeast infection and bought a 3 day kit at the store. This didn't relieve the symptoms. Maybe slightly. I called the doc and they prescribed me diflucan and did all sorts of cultures including stds which I'm waiting on the results.
Avatar f tn Other considerations would include an anal fissure or a thrombosed external hemorrhoid. An anal fissure will cause a sharp pain as the stool exits the anus; often some bleeding may be noted. A thrombosed external hemorrhoid is a situation when a clot develops in the external hemorrhoid and it is usually quite painful and last for hours to a few days until the tension decreases in the clotted hemorrhoid.
Avatar f tn I have never had a hemorrhoid but I have developed an anal skin tag a few cm from the anal opening. I also think there is a small swelling, vein shaped but the same color as the skin coming from the opening. Could this be a hemorrhoid developing? And how do I avoid it advancing and/or future development? I have no problem with constipation. I do not have access to medical care or medicine. Thank you for any advice!
Avatar f tn It could be a boil, hemorrhoid, or benign cyst. You could make an appt. with your family doctor for further help. My husband had an issue like this once & it turned out to be a boil. Feel better soon!
Avatar n tn I have tried just about every anti-itch cream even hemorrhoid cream and steroid creams. Also afterwards for hours sometimes I'll have off and on itching sensation in and around my anus! What else should I try? Or what is the treatment for internal hemmorrhoids or anal fissures? I don't want to see a specialist, so what are some other alternative treatments I can do on my own for this?
Avatar n tn ive just been woke up with this very bad pain in my anal passage, the feeling of wanting to push, as if theres something stuck in there, it also hurts my stomache whars wrong?
Avatar m tn Hello, The symptoms are suggestive of external hemorrhoid. Symptoms of external hemorrhoids may include painful swelling or a hard lump around the anus which may itch and bleed. Treatment includes sclerotherapy, rubber band ligation, cryosurgery or Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy. Please consult a surgeon and get it evaluated. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn The small oval shaped thing could be an anal tag or a hemorrhoid. Initially a hemorrhoid does not bleed. However it is difficult to comment on net. Please get a doctor to examine you. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
5915949 tn?1396188227 The list of things that hurt alot when sitting on a toilet include (but are not limited to) are thrombosed external hemorrhoid or a perianal abscess. You may get some temporary relief with a sitz bath or a small amount of warm water in a bathtub. It does however really need to be seen and examined by a physician.
