What Are Hemorrhoids?
The most common symptom of internal hemorrhoids
is painless bright red blood covering the stool, on toilet paper, or in the
toilet bowl. However, an internal hemorrhoid may protrude through the anus
outside the body, becoming irritated and painful. This is known as a protruding
hemorrhoid.
Symptoms of external hemorrhoids may include
painful swelling or a hard lump around the anus that results when a blood clot
forms. Excessive straining, rubbing, or
cleaning around the anus may cause irritation with bleeding and/or itching,
which may produce a vicious cycle of symptoms.
