After having anal sex with my boyfriend I noticd I had a small lump

Maybe hold off on the anal sex for a while? It could be the bump is too irritated and needs time to heal. Since it has been so long, I would really encourage you to talk to your parents. I think they’d rather know you’re hurting and scared, and if it’s serious, it does need to get checked out properly.

hon, just tell your folks you think you have a hemorrhoid problem. you’ve strained and caused this by doing what you did. commonly they occur during pregnancy or even with men too when they strain during bowel movements. sometimes they shrink on their own. at other times a doctors advice should be sought. if you continue doing what you seem to be doing on a regular basis, you should expect a recurrence of the same one maybe more of them at once. in the meantime try taking an Epsom salts bath (soak) and try a product recommended by the pharmacist (like Preparation H) it helps shrink them and relieves the pain. personally, I’d find a different way to express my affection if I were in your shoes.
