What Causes a Small Fleshy Lump Inside the Anal Area?
1.
If patients frequently consume spicy and stimulating foods or consume large amounts of alcohol, it may lead to expansion of the submucosal blood vessel plexus at the terminal end of the anorectum, forming a soft lump, accompanied by symptoms such as rectal bleeding, anal itchiness, and anal pressure sensation. Medications such as Mayiling Musk Hemorrhoid Ointment, Hemorrhoid Suppository, and Diyu Huaijiao Pill can be used as prescribed by a doctor to clear heat and dry dampness, promote blood circulation, and reduce swelling.
2.
If patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene, it may lead to human papillomavirus infection, resulting in small warts around or inside the anus, accompanied by symptoms such as local foreign body sensation, vulvar itchiness, and a foul odor. The warts can be removed through physical methods such as laser, cryotherapy, and electrocautery.
3.
If patients have constipation, poor hygiene, or low immunity, anal sinuses may become infected with bacteria, leading to swelling and inflammation of the anal sinuses, accompanied by symptoms such as urgent defecation with incomplete evacuation, mucous blood in stool, anal sphincter tension, and pain. Medications such as Amoxicillin Capsules, Metronidazole Tablets, and Cefixime Tablets can be taken as prescribed by a doctor to reduce inflammation.
4.
If patients have unhealthy habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, it may lead to nodular protrusions or pedunculated masses in the rectal mucosa, accompanied by symptoms such as blood in stool and protrusion of polyps. Polyps can be removed through surgical methods such as transanal resection and laparoscopic resection at the hospital.
In addition, it may also be caused by anal papillary adenoma. In daily life, patients are advised to keep the anus clean and change their underwear frequently. The diet should be light, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods. Meanwhile, prolonged sitting or squatting should be avoided to prevent hindrance to recovery. If the patient's condition is severe and accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms, they should seek medical treatment promptly.
