I always - especially after using the bathroom - have part of my anus that's swollen compared to the restIt's likeHalf of the area around my anus is swollen/puffed upNot anything like bumps; the flesh itselfLikeIf IReached down thereIt'd be the first thing I felt - the swollen area.I know it's been this way for a very long time, so I'm not so concerned, butI'm a little paranoidCould this be fromStraining? Helppppp? It's not something serious, is it?!
Rip out the wall.Easier if it's just drywall.
Unfortunately, you really just have to use air fresheners and wait it outThey do quit smelling after about 2 weeksIf you have the same luck I do, however, you are probably hosting a party for 50 people tomorrowLOL!
Your problem is that unless you Absolutely KNOW where that critter is, you will be opening walls all throughout your houseIf you can pinpoint his location, it will be easy to cut a small hole in your wall just to remove itThere might be a way to hire someone with a trained Dog to sniff the exact location,but you would need to search for thatI don't recommend randomly pulling apart your walls in your search unless you are up for spending money to repair them laterAnother thought I had was that that smell no matter how bad it is will only last so long until its body rots, in the meantime, put a whole mess load of air fresheners in the area you smell it,as well as Arm and Hammer baking soda boxes open wideGood luck!
I have a feeling that if you were to check using a mirror you might find that the swollen area has a dark purplish colourIt sounds to me as if you might be on the way to developing haemorrhoids all piles, a very common complaint, particularly in the West where many people do not get sufficient dietary fibreIf you do not drinking enough liquid and if there is not enough fibre in your diet your body produces small, hard stools that are difficult to passStraining on the toilet puts a lot of stress on the blood vessels around your anus, resulting in the long term in the swelling you seem to be describing, and possibly eventual soreness and discomfortI would suggest that you make sure you drink enough liquid and change your diet to include a bran fibre cereal, or wholemeal bread, or porridge every dayYou should also eat plenty of leafy green vegetablesIf you cannot tolerate insoluble fiber, the kind that is found in Bran fibre cereal or wholemeal bread you will probably find that porridge suits you better, because it contains soluble fibreFibre bulks out your stool so that your gut can get a grip on it and the movement in your gut, known as peristalsis, that moves digested food along to your bowel will work betterIt also makes your stool softer and easier to passEating plenty of fresh fruit with the peels still on is also helpful.
you could destroy your house (dynamite) and he'll probably leave.
