I have been experiencing left side abdominal pain for quite long, over 2 years.I feel bloated, pass a lot of gas, knotted feeling in left abdomen which gets eased when I defecate, sometimes acidity too. Also I have had a pimple kind thing on perianal area 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 time a day mostly and max 2 times a day rarely. Check my poop occasionally. It seems normal in thickness in the morning but when I have to otherwise poop in the evening , thickness is somewhat less. Sometimes burning on anus after I poop, and tailbone pain too. I used to spend 20-25 mins on the pot, which I have now reduced to 10 mins max.
My CBC indicates low platlet level(110) , low MCV(78) for 4-5 years.
HPLC, Reticulocyte, LDH, Iron studies- normal (as guided by haematologist).
Is it cancer? Very worried! Guide please.

You have constipation and probably a Fistula in ano. You will need surgical treatment for the fistula along with medications and diet changes for constipation. You do not have low platelets, it is normal. It is definitely not cancer.
Next Steps
Consult a Surgeon/ Surgical Gastroenterologist in person for further treatment.
Health Tips
Plenty of water upto 3 litres per day with high fibre diet to avoid constipation.
