Does my hole look ‘normal’ and is there anything wrong with it? - #17045

Hello dear See you have not shared any clinical pic so It is difficult to confirm any abnormalities There can be chances of minor injury or haemorrhoids I suggest you to please get following tests done for confirmation Sigmoidoscopy Anas copy Rectal USG CBC Serum ferritin Colonoscopy if recommended by gastroenterologist I request you to please share the result with gastroenterologist or laproscopic surgeon for better clarity Regards

Hello,

Some people have an anus that looks more flat or “inward.” Some have an outward fold or small protrusion, this can be from: Previous hemorrhoids Natural skin folds A small skin tag (very common) Skin texture and color vary a lot person to person.

🛑 It doesn’t need to look “aesthetic” or like what you see online. Most photos on the internet are edited, shaved, oiled, or chosen to look a certain way.

🛑What you’re describing usually falls under normal anatomy or harmless leftover tissue from your old hemorrhoid.

If you want, you can upload a (non-explicit, medically focused) picture for a more specific explanation Or please consult a surgeon in person for investigation.

I hope this cleared your concern Thank you

Hi Ryan,

From your description, it likely sounds normal and related to past hemorrhoids, not something serious.

Please do not overthink the appearance; there is a wide range of “normal” for that area.

Important: Do you have pain during defecation, fresh bleeding, or a feeling of a lump?Do you have constipation or need to strain a lot while passing stools?

If there is persistent pain, bleeding, or a growing lump, you should start SYP looz 3 tsf at night and start taking sitz bath(which u can learn from you tube).

Hello Ryan It’s understandable to have concerns about changes in your body, especially in sensitive areas. The appearance of the skin and tissue between the buttocks can vary widely from person to person, and what you describe as an “outy” is not uncommon.

Since you mentioned having a hemorrhoid in the past and experiencing bleeding, it might be a good idea to visit a nearby doctor . They can provide a thorough examination and ensure that everything is normal, especially if you’re experiencing any discomfort or changes.

If you’re feeling anxious about it, remember that many people have similar concerns, and a nearby doctor can help reassure you and provide guidance because it need physical examination.

Thank you

Hello Ryan Kindly consult to surgeon And go for colonoscopy Don’t use any moisturiser and anything else don’t worry if it’s hemroids then it’s curable Sitz in lukewarm water for 10 minutes every day twice a day Use xylocaine jelly for pain before and after poop And if not subside then consult to surgeon Thanks ryan Dr br netar physician

Determining whether your anal region looks “normal” can be quite subjective, as anatomical variation is common. That said, it’s important to focus on any functional issues or symptoms you’re experiencing rather than purely cosmetic concerns. From your description, it seems you may have had hemorrhoids in the past. Hemorrhoids are common, and they can result in some protrusion that you might describe as an “outy.” They can appear as lumps around the anus, which may resolve on their own or with conservative treatment such as increasing dietary fiber, staying hydrated, and using over-the-counter creams or suppositories to alleviate symptoms. Since you mentioned past bleeding, this often results from straining during bowel movements, related to constipation or insufficient fiber. It’s crucial to address any ongoing bowel habits that might contribute to this issue. Persistent symptoms like bleeding, significant pain, discomfort, or any unusual changes in that area should definitely prompt a visit to your healthcare provider to rule out other conditions, like anal fissures or other anorectal conditions, which can sometimes present similarly. To keep the area healthy, aim for regular bowel movements without straining and incorporate lifestyle adjustments as needed. If you notice persistent bleeding, new lumps, or other troubling symptoms, seek medical evaluation to ensure there isn’t a more serious underlying problem. They can also assess whether what you see is within the wide range of normal anatomical variations.
