Anal Fissure? Anyone

[Mildez]

No you don't want an ingrown hair down there. They require surgery to remove and you end up with a great hole that needs packing for a week and also a hospital stay for at least a few days. Well there the ones I have seen. They are not common in women though mainly men and they are really bad. But I didn't read that bit that its between the two so I think your safe. Maybe its an infection of some type and some antibiotics will help clear it up. Definately go to the dr sounds very painful.

So the lump is inside the anus is it? Like an inch up?

Emmy im hoping its something that can be cleared up with anntibiotics.

I can feel the lump to the left of my anus...I havent inserted a finger or anything to check

Mmmm thinking of you and hope you get some treatment for it.

Maz hun - that doesn't sound like a fissure - from my experience with a fissure, it was a tear and it hurt like razor blades to go number 2's - even when they weren't hard at all. it was damn painful. it also doesn't sound much like a 'roid, given you said it was a hard lump.

to me, it sounds like either a polyp or an infection of some sort - wish i could give you more clues. go see your doctor, and get them to check it. be aware, if it's hurting now, it's gonna hurt like a biatch when they check it out - but if it's an infection, they may be able to lance it and get rid of it. if it's a polyp, they'll refer you for more assistance.

for now, until you can see the doctor, try rectinol if you can. it's not pleasant, but if you use a rubber glove you can get it right up to where the pain is and it will numb the area. when i had my fissure i refused to use the applicator cos it hurt (who wants a hard tube up there when they're in pain ffs??) but putting a generous amount of rectinol on the glove and putting it in gently myself, it worked ok to give me relief

i completely sympathise with the pain factor hun - wish i could offer you some more help to get relief - hopefully the doctor can help you with answers ASAP...

I am wondering if it might be a pilonidal sinus .... basically an ingrown hair... I had one right at the edge of my anus when I was 18... It was from a head hair... But for your sake I hope it is not... It took a few weeks to grow, and just kept getting worse and bigger, and was cut out with surgery...

Hopefully you can get some answers from the dr...
