Worried about what is happening with my anus

Hi,

In early 2016 I felt a lump on my anus, i didn't really think much of it as it could've just been normal even though it would get a bit bigger around a week before my menstrual cycle which seemed odd to me. At the time I was too anxious to go to a doctor. It had always felt big but I realised its my perineum which is hard and a bit big as well as my anus. I feel like it has gotten worser these past couple of months when it really started to worry me. Whenever I pass a stool this big lump/bulge comes out of my anus and I have to push it back in. It looks slightly red/purple as well as the surrounding areas and looks about 2cm long.. I have never had any pain nor bleeding but I really feel like the bulge comes from the perineum and then goes inside the anus, my perineum looks like its bulged a bit and is slightly brown/yellow then before the perineum there are two weird brown long lines of skin if that makes sense? They kind of look like skin tags and are about 1cm long coming down just before the perineum. I have quite a bit of gas as well as my stomach growling a lot. I'm mostly scared if its cancerous in any way. I sometimes have shortness of breath, fatigue and tiredness as well if that could be anything to do with it or it could just be my low iron. I would have gone to a doctor but I am on holiday right now and they don't have any available doctors appointments over here. I have a 21 hour flight next week and will be going to the doctors as soon as I get back but I really don't want to be so stressed the whole time wondering whether it is cancerous or not. Does anybody have any idea of what this might be? Thank you!
