3Hemorrhoids Symptoms
Symptoms of hemorrhoids vary from type to type. Internal hemorrhoid is hard to be detected because it is inside your rectum. Yet, there are still some alerting signs you could refer to. The first one is the blood in your stool. If you have painless bleeding during the bowel movement, it could be a sign of internal hemorrhoids. Be careful that rectal bleeding could also be an indication of colorectal cancer. Therefore it is recommended to see a doctor for an overall body check. The second one is prolapsed hemorrhoid. Many people may experience hemorrhoid tissue protruding out from the anus when they go to the toilet. In most cases, hemorrhoid tissue will go back in on its own after pooping.
External hemorrhoids are more noticeable, and people could see and feel them without medical equipment. Some external hemorrhoid-related symptoms include:
- Anus pain: the pain might get worse when you pass stool
- Itching or burning sensation in the anal area
- Swollen anus [3]
