Lump near anus male painful

Some people experience bleeding with bowel movements or notice a lump near their anus and are concerned they are having symptoms of anal cancer. Let's explore the signs and symptoms of anal cancer, and why it's important to get them checked out by your doctor. The anus is the opening of the rectum. It allows waste to pass from the large intestine and outside the body.

Im 17 and have found a weird lump by my anus when wiping. Its not like a spot, cyst, boil, ect but more of a small round ball pertruding from the skin. I havent had anything like this before so im slightly scared. It hurts slightly when pressure is applied. Unfortunately no one on the forum will have the ability or knowledge to tell you what this might be and the best thing to do in your situation is simply to book an appointment to see your doctor and show them that small lump and I am sure the doctor will be able to tell you exactly what it might be and this will make you feel less worried and reassured.

The anus is an opening in the lower part of the digestive tract. When stool fills the rectum, the sphincter muscle relaxes, letting stool pass through the anus and out of the body. The external anal sphincter closes off the anus when stool has passed.

Sometimes anal cancer causes no symptoms at all. But bleeding is often the first sign of the disease. The bleeding is usually minor.
