Hemorrhoids; Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis, Treatment & Prevention

Hemorrhoids Symptoms

The types of signs or symptoms are largely based on the type of hemorrhoids i.e., internal, external or thrombosed and may range in acuteness from mild to severe.

  • Painless bleeding is one of the most common signs of both internal and external hemorrhoids
  • Swelling in the area around the anus
  • Irritation or itching around your anus
  • Mild to severe pain depending on the severity of the disease
  • A sensitive thrombus around your anus, which may be painful

If you are experiencing these symptoms, avoid rubbing, excessive straining or wiping near the anus as it may lead to itching and irritation or can even cause bleeding. Additionally, try to keep that area dry rather than constantly washing.
