Pain and lump in rectum

Posted , 3 users are following.

I've recently found a very small hard lump inside my rectum. I discovered it after suffering with being unable to empty my bowels properly. I sometimes get blood and mucus when wiping and I'm also getting a deep ache in my coccyx on a regular basis. Does this sound like a hemmoroid or should I see a doc? I have a gastro appointment at the end of June.

    Hi, always a good idea to speak with your doctor to get them to check it out.

    Could most possibly be a hemeroid or it could also possibly be an abcess. You said you have a little blood and mucus sometimes and with an abcess it does leak mucus at times.

    Hope this helps
