Almost all people have heard of hemorrhoids and many have actually suffered from this common and often embarrassing condition. But how many people know exactly what hemorrhoids are and the symptoms that indicate there presence. Many people may not realize exactly what a hemorrhoid is, the fact that there is actually more then one kind of hemorrhoid, and that symptoms vary for each type. It is the goal of this article to explain the different types of hemorrhoids and the symptoms you may expect for each type.

Hemorrhoids, also referred to as piles, are swollen veins in the anal and rectal region. These inflamed veins, depending on the location can cause pain, especially while sitting or having a bowel movement, itching, bleeding, and you may be able to feel a lump in the area around the anus. If you experience pain, it can range from a mild discomfort to extreme. If you notice blood, it will be bright red because it is blood that is very close to the surface of the skin and highly oxygenated. While normal bleeding from hemorrhoids is not considered dangerous, you should be concerned if there is an excessive amount of blood as this may indicate problems other then hemorrhoids. To further understand the symptoms, we need to look at the two different kinds of hemorrhoids.

As already stated, hemorrhoids are where the veins in the rectal area get inflamed and swollen. There are actually two sets of veins that drain blood from the rectal area and the first set we are going to talk about are the internal veins that are inside the anus. When these internal veins become inflamed a condition known as internal hemorrhoids develops. Because the internal veins inside the anus do not have nerve endings, they normally create no pain unless the condition becomes severe. Normally the only symptom you will notice with internal hemorrhoids is bright red blood when having a bowel movement and you will not normally be able to feel a lump in the area. Internal hemorrhoids can, however, develop into a condition that is painful.

A prolapsed hemorrhoid is where an internal hemorrhoid extends outside the anus and becomes more inflamed and has increased swelling. Normally, this type of hemorrhoid can be gently pushed back up inside the anus but if not done soon enough, it can swell to the point where it develops into a serious condition called an entrapped hemorrhoid. This condition can be both serious and very painful as the hemorrhoid is now trapped outside the anus and no longer receives any blood supply. If this condition persists, the hemorrhoid will die and become infected making it possible for the infection to spread throughout the body and can make the hemorrhoid sufferer very ill. If this condition develops, it is time to see a doctor right away. The other type of hemorrhoid that someone may experience is an external hemorrhoid.

An external hemorrhoid is where the veins that run outside the anus become inflamed and swollen. These hemorrhoids can be felt as a lump and are the type that are normally associated with pain, burning, and itching. This type of hemorrhoid will also cause bleeding and if left untreated can develop into what is called thrombosed hemorrhoid where a blood clot is formed. Once the hemorrhoid clots, the pressure will increase and the pain can become severe. As with the case of an entrapped hemorrhoid, a thrombosed hemorrhoid will also require you to see your doctor so the blood clot can be cut away and the pressure relieved.

I hope this article has given you some perspective about what hemorrhoids are and what symptoms to expect. If caught early enough there are several different treatments available to treat the symptoms and cure the hemorrhoids. But as Ive already stated, please be aware that excessive bleeding from the rectal area may be a more serious condition then hemorrhoids such as anal or colon cancer. If you have any reason to think that your symptoms are more then hemorrhoidal the please see a doctor right away.

If I stick a swab of toilet paper slathered in Preparation H cream into my husband’s rectum to stop him from complaining about his hemorrhoid, is that technically considered a Manpon?

I’m looking for technical terms here, people. Please help.

Or any other advice about stopping the constant hemorrhoid complaints.

Thanks!

Using a large suppository device will loosen him up. After a while, he won’t feel a thing… and stop complaining. Tampon.. manpon…. too small!

my former wife recommended that to me right after she lost the divorce settlement. I guess she does care for me and has no ill will after all.

Ha ha ha ha you would have no hemorrhoids, but no ass either. That stuff eats through anything. I say no. But if you ever needed to punish someone else, maybe. Lol

Are hemorrhoids normal during pregnancy? Please help, this is a very serious matter. I can’t keep my mind on anything!!! Don’t know if I need to focus on contractions or my butt!

Hemorrhoids are normal in the last 2/3 of your pregnancy.

Anal bleeding is actually a symptom of hemorrhoids, it can appear with internal and external hemorrhoids. In case of internal
hemorrhoids you must be even more cautious because bleeding can be a sign of additional gastro-intestinal troubles such as
fissure, fistula, colorectal cancer, diverticulosis or colitis.

That is why it is very important to have your doctor diagnose it properly.

Cause of bleeding hemorrhoids

Usual reason why hemorrhoids bleed are veins in rectum that grow to be enlarged with too much blood and rupture because of it.

Usually it happens either during or just after the bowel movement. In most cases with internal hemorrhoids it is caused
by a pallet like, very hard stool.

Stool this hard is difficult to push out and straining caused by this is responsible for hemorrhoids swelling with blood even more. It is easy for stool this hard to tear open the already injured, inflated hemorrhoid tissue and cause the bleeding.

In case that you are experiencing a hemorrhoid prolapse, the cause can be external (too much rubbing with toilet paper, extended sitting periods or even synthetic underwear).

With external hemorrhoids similar to hemorrhoid prolapse, anal bleeding can be caused “mechanically” by excessive wiping
and cleaning of an already irritated area.

Symptoms

First thing you are going to notice is going to be small blood streaks in your stool, on your underwear and toilet paper. Before bleeding starts sometimes you can also feel other hemorrhoid symptoms like general discomfort in your rectal area, anal itching and burning sensation.

But you can equally experience hemorrhoids bleeding as the very first symptom of hemorrhoids without experiencing any of the
not as much alarming symptoms at first. In case of external hemorrhoids you will notice hemorrhoids symptom very easy and
very fast.

Usually you are going to sense the bulge or swelling around your anus, you might also experience itching and burning feeling but with external hemorrhoids you always have the option to use the hand held mirror and check what is going on.

Treatment

Treatment is never high-speed, but you have more than a few methods that can help your body heal the damage faster. First thing you have to do is to soften your stool in order to prevent the damage that can be done to your colon by hard stool.

This is going to help the injured tissue restore to health quicker and stop the anal bleeding. This is crucial for internal as well as for external hemorrhoids.

You should try to avoid using toilet paper, instead use moist wipes or better yet take a shower or wash up in a bidet after the bowel movement. This is essential for external hemorrhoids because most of the rectal bleeding in this case is caused by
mechanical damage done to the damaged tissue by wiping, also try to use soft, cotton underwear.

You can also use suppositories and natural creams for speeding up the healing as well as for lubrication of the colon, this way it will be much easier to pass the hard stool.
