Haemorrhoids or what?
I have been experiencing left side abdominal pain for quite long. I feel bloated, pass a lot of gas, knotted feeling in left upper abdomen which gets eased when I defecate. Also I have had a pimple kinds thing which on left butt for over a year, whose size keeps on changing(sometimes almost vanishes and sometimes gets bigger)Now I have a lump kinda thing on left anus border for over a week now. Pics attached.
I poop 1-2 times a day. Poop otherwise normal, Sometimes little white substance floats on the water. I spend 20-25 mins on the pot.
Kindly guide.
Recommended Investigations
Complete blood count
Stool routine examination
Colonoscopy to evaluate the colon
CT abdomen to rule out diverticulitis
Calprotectin levels to check for inflammation
Probable Diagnosis
The symptoms suggest several possible conditions:
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) with predominant constipation
Inflammatory Bowel Disease needs to be ruled out given the chronic symptoms
Next Steps
Given the chronic nature and recent perianal lesion, consultation with a gastroenterologist is recommended for proper evaluation and management.
