My father has been taking piles medicine on and off for years instead of proper treatment. Recently he started feeling a small lump outside the anal area while sitting and it is very painful

A small lump around the anal area after years of recurring piles is something we see quite often in patients who keep managing symptoms only with temporary medicines. In many cases, this can be an enlarged external hemorrhoid or a prolapsing internal pile that has gradually worsened over time. It may not be dangerous, but if the lump is persistent, painful, increasing in size, or causing discomfort while sitting, it definitely deserves proper evaluation now rather than continued self-medication.
The good part is that treatment today is much more manageable than people expect — many cases can be treated with simple procedures or minimally invasive options depending on the stage. We strongly recommend that he should consult a general or colorectal surgeon once so the condition can be examined properly and treated before complications like thrombosis, severe swelling, or continuous bleeding develop.
