Prolapse/piles?!?!

Hi just after advice- far too much info sorry

A week ago I had an awful tummy bug, so much diarrhea that I managed to faint. It was constant so I took Imodium to stop it, because I felt drained (literally)
I then had constipation for a week.

Yesterday I had a poop needing to come out that was too big to come out. It took a lot of work and a lot of pain/pushing, but I managed to get it out.

Now I have a lump sticking out my bottom. It's so sore, and reddish. Probably the size of a marble. My legs feel achey from the pain and I'm hurting when I sit down.

Has anyone ever had this situation? If it's a prolapse would it hurt to take piles medicine?
Thank you, and sorry for the gross chat

Sounds like piles. Get some anusol cream. If that doesn't work you can get steroid cream from the gp. Don't just ignore it. It won't go away by itself.

I hope that's what it is, I really don't want to go to GP, far too embarrassing. I'll pick up some anusol tomorrow
Thank you
