Small Rectal Lump: Causes, Symptoms & Potential Solutions


Question
have a small lump on the edge of my rectum..not in the rectum..came uo overnite...does not hurt..have easy bowel movements lump is small..size of a eraser on a pencil...nothing to do with sex

Answer
IF there is no pain, no bleeding and no oozing of serum from the bump, it is likely the early beginning of a hemorrhoidal tag. If your bowels tend to be constipated or sluggish, then you may be magnesium deficient and want to ask your doctor if 500mg of magnesium oxide twice a day is good for you. Otherwise hot water sitz baths twice a day will usually take the bump away if that concerns you. OK?
