Signs of Hemorrhoids You Should Look Out For
by Sandy Rowde
Here are some signs and symptoms of hemorrhoids to look out for:
1. Bleeding happens when too much pressure is exerted on the anus. Usually, bleeding occurs during bowel movement where traces of blood are found in the stool. However, there are also other diseases and conditions that result to blood in stools and in such case, you cannot therefore conclude if you are indeed suffering from hemorrhoids as the bleeding may be caused by some other reason. In any case, once there is bleeding, the safest thing to do next is to consult a doctor who can best diagnose if you have hemorrhoids or not.
A bleeding anus can become very uncomfortable and embarrassing. Since bleeding happens when the anus or the lower body exerts pressure, bleeding may happen anywhere such as when one is in a public place. Needless to say, nobody wants to have their clothes stained with blood from the anus.
2. Another sign of hemorrhoids is the unusual change in how your stool looks like. A sudden change in the size, shape and color of the stools might indicate of hemorrhoids. A blockage or a narrow passage (due to congestion) can be a reason for thin-sized stools (not-so ordinarily thin). Atypically dark-colored stools also indicate certain blockages in the passage.
3. Pain in the rectum or around the rectal area which is not caused by any known physical injury can be indicative of hemorrhoids condition. Some of these pains include an intense throbbing and discomfort which does not subside easily should be reason enough to seek a doctor's advise. External hemorrhoids are more likely to cause pain and discomfort since external hemorrhoids are more exposed to outside irritants. In some cases, pain is also accompanied with bleeding.
4. Any unusual types of discharges from the anus also indicates presence of hemorrhoids. Discharges might be brought by irritation or swelling inside the anus. This is usually symptoms of internal hemorrhoids.
5. Mysterious lumps, bulges, swellings or sore spots in the anal canal or rectum are something that should also be looked into because this can also be another sign of hemorrhoids. Any sac-like protrusion in the anus can be a cause of swelling due to too much pressure in the blood vessels at the hemorrhoids. Lumps brought by hemorrhoids vary in sizes - there are small-medium sizes of lumps, while there are other protrusions that are large enough that it tangles. Unusual bulging tissue from the anus that does not disappear or return to its normal size can be a signal that it is something as serious as hemorrhoids. To sum it all up, there are four different degrees (or grades) of hemorrhoids. Symptoms and treatments will depend on the kind of grade where the hemorrhoids belong:
- First Grade Hemorrhoids: This stage may occur in the internal or external anus. Oftentimes, a first grade hemorrhoids is characterized by bleeding.
- Second Grade Hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids may draw back in into the anal canal. In this grade, bleeding may not necessarily be present.
- Third Grade Hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids protrude from the anus' opening but can be easily pushed back in.
- Fourth Grade Hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids that protrude out of the anus but cannot be pushed back in manually.
