I'm 25, healthy (besides an ovarian cyst), thin, active, high-fiber diet, no constipation, and I have the same thing! never had it before! from what I've been googling it seems like a hemarroid, but not at all painful or itchy. I too have just had a virus with flu like symptoms and abdominal pain/vomiting (intenstinal virus says my doctor) for about a week, but no straining for bowel movements or anything and tonight I notice this thing and I don't know what it is!!! Its a bit bigger than a pea, pink and red, but you can see purple from the blood inside, doesn't hurt at all and the vein looks too deep inside to ever bleed.
I am however just starting my period, and I do get rectal pains during this time of the month, but I thought it was due to my ovarian cyst, I've never noticed anything like this before!
What is going on?!!!!!
Hi!
It may or may not be an external hemorrhoid.
Without examining the lump, it is difficult to comment what it is. Here is a list of possibilities of what it could be. The lump could be a prolapsed hemorrhoid, a skin tag, a benign rectal tumor, a rectal polyp, a rectal abscess, genital wart or a hematoma. Please consult your doctor for confirmed diagnosis.
Take care!
