A member asked:

Good day kindly advise. i have something protruding from my anus. it is starting to get uncomfortable and painful. any dr in cape town northern suburbs that can help? what is the treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

When: Does this occur after a bowel movement? Not sure, best guess would be a hemorrhoid-not sure whether type could be a protrusion of the rectal tissue. You need to be examined by a professional. Sorry not able to give further-go to a medical provider.
