Question 1

what does a polyp in the anus feel like?

Accepted Answer

Unless it: Is very large or protrudes out the anus when defecating you should not be able to feel an ano/rectal polyp. Do not use your finger but if concerned have an exam by your doctor or a specialist.

Question 2

please tell me, could a polyp of size 1 cm come out of one's anus?

Accepted Answer

Could be hemorrhoid: Any entity inside your bowel; food, stool, polyp, foreign body, hemorrhoid can and will pass rectally, so yes. Occasionally a polyp will try to pass rectally, but still being attached to the wall of the colon, can not fully detach. A colonoscopy, and/or exam with your doc are the best ways to address this problem. Be well.

Question 3

21,male. 1 mushroom like polyp(not sure) less than 1cm very close to anus.i twisted it. it fell off with little bleeding,no pain!any problem'll occur?

Accepted Answer

Polyp needs check: If u never had polyps in rectal area, chances are it is not a chronic problem (ulcerative colitis etc), but any growth in this area needs an assessment urgently to avoid progression to serious condition. More commonly skin infection in that area with staph bacteria can lead to abscesses, which if scratched can bleed or ooze pus. They need to be looked at for prompt treatment to avoid complications

Question 4

i found an anal polyp at the beginning of my anus yesterday. it does not itch, burn and its not irritating. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Still get checked: This could be a number i'd things,  from a viral infection,  a skin tag, hemorrhoid,  or most seriously a rectal cancer.  While it is more likely benign, it's best to have a healthcare professional take a look to rule out viral or cancer origins.  Hope that helps and remember,  it's most likely nothing,  but just rule it out so there are no surprise later on!

Question 5

i had a colonoscopy february 6 and polyps removed i have since had burning and itching in the anus area. should i be concerned about this?

Accepted Answer

: Irritation could happen after any instrumental procedure

Question 6

i've had anal surgery last month for a polyp and superficial fissure. how long will it be before i can use my anus sexually again(like insertion) etc?

Accepted Answer

Anal sex: As long as you have healed then you can proceed. Use plenty of lubricant the first time to prevent from tearing again.

Question 7

when i have a bm, a purplish/red soft lump of tissue prodtrudes thru anus. it goes back inside when i'm not exerting pressure. is it a polyp/tumor?

Accepted Answer

Prolapse: What you described fits in with rectal prolapse. It would be prudent to get it treated before it gets worse. Please consult your doctor for referral to a colo-rectal surgeon.

Question 8

purple around anus. looked like deflated sacs. larger red/purple in middle sac right inside anus. and a skin tag. hemorrhoid or polyp?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: Can be a thrombosed hemorrhoid or a sentinel pile--especially if accompanied by a history of constipation, excessive pressure to move your bowels. A physical examination would be in order, however, to determine exact diagnosis.

Question 9

bright, red blood from anus...constipation? i'm only twenty, but colon problems are known in my family (colon cancer, polyps). should i go to gi, or?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry: Likely hemorrhoids.  Go to your doctor and have it checked out.

Question 10

my child had a colorectal polyp removal surgery by laser, however about 10 days later now there was a droplet in his stool once. should i be worried about this? he is also facing immense itching in anus area, it seems red and inflamed, why so?

Accepted Answer

: Bright red blood on the surface of stool comes from near the outlet, usually from an internal scratch or fissure. These follow bulky/hard or dry stools. Darkened stool comes from higher up where enzymes have been active. Anal itching at that age can be from many things including food allergies, fungal infections, bacterial infections or just habit. Pinworms are rare at that age.
