The lumps near the anal region with mild pain, especially while walking or moving, could be due to several causes, the most common being:
Thrombosed external hemorrhoids â Swollen veins that can form painful lumps near the anus, often due to straining or prolonged sitting.
Perianal abscess â A collection of pus due to infection, which can start as a painful lump and may worsen if untreated.
Anal skin tags â Usually painless but can cause discomfort if inflamed.
Perianal fistula â An abnormal connection between the anal canal and skin, often following an untreated abscess.
Pilonidal cyst â If located near the tailbone, it can cause pain and swelling, especially with movement.
Given that the pain is mild but persistent, I recommend:
Warm sitz baths (soaking in warm water for 15â20 minutes, 2â3 times a day).
Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or paracetamol.
Avoiding constipation by increasing fiber and water intake.
Checking for redness, pus, or increasing swelling, which may indicate infection.
