Is anal hard lump an anal cancer?

Question
Hello doctor,
I have a hard lump in my anus with hemorrhoids. No bleeding when defecating, no pus in the anus, only hard lumps and anal itching. After defecation, two small yellow protrusions different from the color of hemorrhoids were seen. Please tell me if the hard lump in the anus is anal cancer or rectal cancer? Thanks for the advice doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is anal hard lump an anal cancer? , the doctor answered as follows:
The symptoms you describe suggest an embolized external hemorrhoid (a blood clot can be palpable like a "bean" under the skin of the anal margin), accompanied by an anal polyp. . However, to determine exactly, you need to visit a specialist in Gastroenterology / anorectal surgery to receive appropriate advice.
If you still have questions about whether anal hard lump is anal cancer, you can go to a medical facility under Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
