People with external hemorrhoids with small tumors in the anal area should do what?

Question
Hi doctor,
I have had external hemorrhoids for 20 years but it's still normal, a week now I've had a painless round, hard pea-sized lump. Please tell me what should I do if I have external hemorrhoids with small lumps in the anal area? Thank you doctor.

Hello friend,
With the question “What should people with external hemorrhoids have small tumors in the anal area? ", the doctor answered as follows:
This condition may be caused by small embolized external hemorrhoids. You need to see a doctor to determine that lump. When going to the doctor, the doctor will examine the anus and rectum, if necessary, will advise the patient to have a colonoscopy to check.
If you still have questions about people with external hemorrhoids having small tumors in the anal area, 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!
