I have never had hemorrhoids. However, I have been dealing with rectocele which I've been having to manually reduce. In addition, I suddenly have a very painful purplish lump next to my anus. It seems to be spreading out as opposed to just one lump getting bigger. I'm trying hard to wait to see my urogyn but this started on Thursday. It is now Saturday, and he won't be in the office until Tuesday (plus he's 2 hours away.) I can handle it as long as it isn't too obviously serious. I know that no one can diagnose this through photos, but a general opinion would be greatly appreciated
