"What Causes a Protruding Fleshy Bump on a Chrysanthemum?"

A fleshy protrusion around the anus may be caused by hemorrhoids, perianal abscess, anal fistula, condyloma acuminatum, and other factors. Targeted treatment is required based on the underlying cause.

1. Hemorrhoids

Prolonged sitting may impair venous blood circulation in the anal area, often leading to anal pain, fullness, and other symptoms. Untreated, hemorrhoids may protrude. Improvement can be achieved through rubber band ligation or microwave thermocoagulation therapy.

2. Perianal Abscess

A perianal abscess typically indicates infection within or around the rectal and anal canal tissues, which can cause anal skin damage, severe cases may result in pus drainage, perianal itchiness, and other symptoms. Treatment options include abscess incision and drainage, and, if necessary, fistula incision for recovery.

3. Anal Fistula

An anal fistula may develop from an untreated ruptured perianal abscess. It usually causes pain in the perianal area and, in severe cases, local fever, localized pus discharge, and other symptoms. Treatment options include fistula incision and anal fistula excision, aiding recovery.

4. Condyloma Acuminatum

Lack of personal hygiene may lead to human papillomavirus infection of the anal skin, causing small, light red or skin-colored papules. Untreated, this may result in lesion damage and abnormal bowel movements. Improvement can be achieved through liquid nitrogen cryotherapy or laser treatment, and, in severe cases, surgical excision of the lesion.

In addition, it may also be caused by rectal polyps, which often present with symptoms such as blood in stool, rectal protrusion, and purulent bloody stool. Untreated, it may lead to increased bowel movements. Treatment options include open or laparoscopic surgery, and anal endoscopic mucosal resection, aiding recovery.
