A member asked:

What causes granular mucosa rectum?

Dr. Richard Zimon answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Previous: inflammation or infection can result in the term "granular" which is used to describe the mucosa (lining) of the bowel as seen by the endoscopist. It is a "NON-SPECIFIC" (Non DIAGNOSTIC) term! Hope this helps! Dr Z

When I was constipated, I put a finger in my rectum and I felt a firm, spongey, roundish bump behind the anterior rectal wall (not on the rectal mucosa, but inside the wall or behind it). Could that be my cervix or is it a tumor?
