Doctors’ responses

When you notice a walnut-shaped bump near the anus that has been present for several years and doesn’t cause pain or bleeding, it’s something that likely bening. While it’s a relief that it’s not painful or causing bleeding, its duration and characteristics mean it should be evaluated to rule out certain conditions. Possibilities include hemorrhoids, skin tags, anal warts, or even a benign cyst. Though hemorrhoids are often associated with pain or bleeding, external ones can occasionally be painless. A skin tag, which is a small flap of skin, could develop after the healing of a small tear in the area, but might feel like a bump. Anal warts, whereas generally caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), can present as bumps and should be checked, since some strains of HPV have a risk of malignancy if untreated over time. It can also possibly be a cyst if it is more underneath the skin, a flexible structure.

Despite the lump having been there for so long without changing, it’s wise to and recommended consult a healthcare professional — either a general practitioner or a proctologist — who can do a physical examination to determine what is wrong. They might inspect the area visually, sometimes using an anoscope to look deeper. However, if situation appears benign, an office examination might suffice without needing many additional diagnostics. They can then advise if treatment is needed or not. Staying observant of Veränderungen in size, texture, color, or if it suddenly begins hurting or bleeds, it’s important to bring that information to the consultation as it informs your care. Avoid picking, squeezing, or otherwise manipulating it, which could create complications.
