<human>: HiMy husband has a large lump in his right scrotum.  He said its not pain to touch but it does hurt to set down all the time.He started bleeding from his ass about 3 weeks ago and said that a fishy smell comes from the lump when he squeezes it. The lump is growing.  Whats wrong? He wont go to the doctor because he thinks its just hemorrhoids
<bot>: Hi. Not going to a Doctor is a different issue. What is more important to understand is that a fishy smelling discharge from the scrotal swelling can be due to a connection between this abscess and the anus or rectums is called a fistula-in-ano, a very difficult to diagnose and treat. There will be a recurrence later on. IF you get a proper diagnosis and treatment now-this can make his future life comfortable. The bleeding per anus can be from the internal opening of this fistula. So please persuade him to see a Surgeon who can perform an internal examination now and prescribe appropriate antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines now. Have Site bath in a warm water, high fiber diet and a mild laxative is a must.
