I've noticed we'll felt a hard lump just on the outside of my anus . It is a little painful to touch as in a pushing like touch . I asked my partner to look for me as I've never had piles before (40) and they confirmed it is definitely a pile and looked at images on NHS to confirm this .I have no symptoms as in feeling unwell .
My pile does not bleed
No mucus or anything like that .
I can still go poo fine .
I can feel like something is there as in not emptied my bowels fully when I have .
I've used prep H gel twice a day for about 3 days and take salt baths noticed no change .
Problem i over read over diagnose myself and just really want some advice or anyone who has experienced this .
I do have an awful habit of straining to make sure I go to the toilet and have now stopped this .
I think I have had this before but more inner from straining but it went on its own .
I would appreciate any advice.
