[|Human|] I have a mushy type polyp on the anus. I was told today that I have the herpes virus 2. I am going to my GYN. I tested negative for HIV. I noticed a small bump. On my anus and it has grown it doesnt bleed. I had diarrhea most recently and it burned. Now when I defecate it doesnt burn. Do I go toa Proctologist? Is this related to my herpes? It has been on my rectum for a few months but in last week and a half it has grown. I can lift it out of the anus and squeeze it.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, you should definitely consult bronchoscopist and get done bronchoscopic examination of your growing polyp. Herpes infection can be the cause for your polyp. You need surgical removal of polyp and histopathological examination of polyp to rule out malignancy. If not treated surgically then it can grow further and cause Constipation, infection or bleeding. So better to get done bronchoscopic examination first and if needed surgical correction is needed to avoid future complications.
