Question

Good evening, for 2 days I have had pain in my anus and there is a lump. Sitting down is uncomfortable, wiping myself. Hello, I think it's hemorrhoids but I'm not sure because I've never had one before. For the moment no blood but a bluish lump that comes out. I take Synthroid, M B12, Seroquel XR, Lamictal, Cipralex and Calcium/Vit. D.

Hello ma'am, are you referring to hemorrhoids? Is there any blood, for example when you wipe yourself? Are you currently taking any other medications? Thanks for the feedback, I'm sorry for the delay I didn't see the notification! For irritation at this level, an ointment like Anusol Plus can be applied twice a day and after each bowel movement if needed. It is also suggested to use unscented wet wipes or a clean towel with water, or a bidet if you have one. Avoid sitting on the toilet bowl, i.e. get up as soon as you finish your bowel movements. I invite you to consult your pharmacist who will be able to deepen and personalize the consultation with you and ensure a close follow-up with you. I will remain available if you have any further questions! Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
