Taken from the Hamsterlaopedia book:

Rectal Prolapse: When part of the rectum collapses and protrudes from the anus. It is usually a sequel to another disease.
Signs: A red swelling protruding from the anus
Cause: Usually follows a bout of diarrhoea

Treatment: The prolapse must be cleaned and gently replaced by a vet, which may require a general anasthetic. Fluids should be given until the hamster is eating normally.

Hope this helps and good luck. x

Thankyou everyone, your all very comforting.
Porridge was took to the vets by my kind sister this morning as I had school. Thankfully its not a rectal prolapse, although the vet suspects it could be either a wart or even a tumour
I've taken the plunge and hes booked in for an operation to have it removed Monday

I'm going to be a nervous wreck, but I'd rather he'd have it now while hes fit and healthy!
Hes going to be spoilt rotten this weekend xx

I really hope hes going to be okay! and that the operation goes smoothly

[Hope]

Goodness, poor you and poor Porridge . . .

I hope that everything is going to be ok with the little guy. Hopefully yiu have caught it in time and will be easliy removed. Keeping everything crossed for you x x
