I have a growth in my anal area, which has been causing me pain for about a week. I am 55 years old and have no blood in my stools, but I do experience pain when sitting down. I had a normal colonoscopy a year ago. What could this growth be, and what should I do about it?

I have been with my boyfriend for a little over 6 months.
