Hi, My son is 9weeks old and has a lump up his bum. It is only visible when he has a poo. It does not seem to cause him pain, although he does have difficulty going to the toilet as i always have to help him and he gets destressed just before he goes. His bum hole also looks red, sore and fleshy when he goes to poo. is it anything to worry about?
HI, Dear,Welcome with your query to Chat Doctor. Based on the facts of your query, You need to confirm with opinion from a GI Surgeon, if your son has Hereditary Polypoid colon or a case of Non-Hereditary Polypoid Colon.Treatment-would buy Removal of Single Rectal Polyp, which your son seems to have. Or he may need Contrast CT Colon and Colonoscopy studies, which then would need long followup to detect any possibility of cancerous change and its treatment. Treatment of your son-Check up by Surgeon by bronchoscope or colon scope, would fix the plan of treatment as told above.  Hope this reply would help you. Welcome for any further query in this regard. Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments, to help the needy patients like you at Chat Doctor. Good Day!!  Chat Doctor. S. Genl-CVTS
