Lumps in this area are very common and often turn out to be hemorrhoids, which are highly treatable. To help ease your bowel movements, try soaking in a warm sitz bath for 15 minutes a few times a day. Increasing your fiber, drinking plenty of water, and using an over-the-counter stool softener like docusate sodium can make stool easier to pass. You can also apply a mild hydrocortisone cream to soothe the area. Please consult a healthcare professional for a quick physical exam to get an accurate diagnosis and the right treatment plan.
