 | Men's Health 9105 Men's Health I do computer work, so most of my day is spent sitting. Over the past few months, I have been noticing a small bump just around my anus. There’s no pain or itching. And it’s not inside the anal area. It seems to get filled with blood when I put more pressure while using the toilet. It’s almost like swollen skin — very soft, without any hardness.

His doctors say there’s a magic number at which surgery is done, but I’m questioning why they can’t do something sooner. My husband is generally in good health, so he shouldn’t be a poor candidate for surgery. | My daughter has schizophrenia. The psychiatrist at her mental health center prescribed an antipsychotic drug. I know some of these drugs increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease. What sort of clinical monitoring do you advise? | I’ve tried to quit smoking three times. A friend suggested that instead of giving cigarettes up all at once that I try to kick the habit gradually. Which method is best? | I am a 62-year-old male. For the past two years, I get up to urinate about three times a night. My doctor says my prostate gland is not enlarged? What could be wrong? | I have been treated for genital warts around my cervix. What is the type of condom to use to protect my partner – a female condom or a regular condom? | My husband is getting severe back spasms in his lower back, possibly as a result of twisting wrong while doing sit-ups. He is getting no relief from ibuprofen. Is there an over-the-counter alternative? | I am a 52-year-old man. When I finish urinating, I drip much more then I used to. And I have a stinging sensation in my urethra. I have had the same partner for 32 years so I don’t think it’s a sexually transmitted disease (STD). What might cause this? | Does exercise help you keep your memory? | I do computer work, so most of my day is spent sitting. Over the past few months, I have been noticing a small bump just around my anus. There’s no pain or itching. And it’s not inside the anal area.
