Lumps in Rectum

Hello.
I am a 45 year old male, fit, living a healthy lifestyle and have always considered myself to be healthy.
I have recently developed slight discomfort in my rectum / anus. This is sometimes puntuated by a stinging sensation. I have examined myself internally with my finger and have found two peasized lumps. Could this a cause of concern?
What type of specialist would be able to examine me?
Thanks

sounds like hemroids, have you been straining to go to the bathroom, was your stools hard or felt them cut into you, if so hemroids are lumps they can be on the inside and or outside, they do sting, i wouldnt be concerned at all but when the hemroid bleeds little is find but if its non stop id go into the doctors cause hemroids suck to have and its best to ask your doctor for a cream or even have your doctor check to make sure it hemroids but sounds to me you have hemroids

Your family doc can examine you. It sounds like hemorrhoids to me. Have you ever had bleeding or the stinging/burning during a bowel movement?  Try Preparation H ointment. Works great! Go see a doc tho for sure!

Hello, I am awfully sorry to hear about your pain. I feel you may have a rectal abscess, which is a pocket or collection of pus that results from an infection within the tissue.
The symptoms are: painful lumps in the anus/rectum, pain and swelling in the anus or buttocks area, painful bowel movements, fever/ or night sweats, and abdominal pain.
Antibiotics treat the infection that has caused the abscess. The specific antibiotic depends on what infectious organism has caused the abscess. Whether the abscess is drained or not, antibiotics are always used to treat the underlying infection.
Needle aspiration of the abscess to remove the infectious fluid. This can be done on superficial abscesses that can be reached by a needle and syringe.
For those abscesses inaccessible by a needle, surgical drainage is done. The skin and tissue is opened surgically and the infectious fluid is drained. Hope this helped, but I advice to first contact your General Practioner.
