Hemorrhoids develop from two different places. There are two sets of veins that drain the blood from the lower rectum and anus. The internal veins can become swollen to form internal hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoids, unless they are severe, cannot be seen or felt, unlike external hemorrhoids. Likewise, the external veins can swell to form external hemorrhoids. External hemorrhoids can be seen around the outside of the anus and, many times, can be felt. Hemorrhoids are associated with constipation and straining at bowel movements as well as pregnancy.
It is thought that these conditions lead to increased pressure in the hemorrhoid veins, thus causing them to swell. Liver disease can cause increased pressure in the veins and also cause hemorrhoids. The symptoms of hemorrhoids are fairly straightforward. The most common complaint from internal hemorrhoids is painless bleeding. You will see bright red blood on the outside of your stool, on the toilet paper, or dripping into the toilet. The bleeding usually does not last long. Hemorrhoids may lead to a condition called prolapsed hemorrhoids. This occurs when the internal hemorrhoids swell and then extend through the anus.
You then can feel the hemorrhoids, at your anus, from the outside. Many times you can gently push the hemorrhoids back through the anus and solve the problem. If the hemorrhoids cannot be pushed back, then they may swell even more and become trapped outside of the anus. If your hemorrhoids become entrapped, then you will need to see a doctor. You may develop itching in your anus from prolapsed hemorrhoids. This condition is called pruritus ani. External hemorrhoids may form a painful condition called thrombosed hemorrhoids. When a blood clot occurs in a hemorrhoid, the hemorrhoid will become even more swollen.
This swelling leads to increased pain. The pain is usually worse with bowel movements or sometimes with sitting. This too is a condition that may require a doctor's examination and treatment. If you develop bleeding between bowel movements or have a moderate amount of bleeding from hemorrhoids, you should consult your doctor. If you are over age forty years or have a family history of colon cancer, you should consult your doctor. If you have prolapsed hemorrhoids that will not go back through the anus, or you have significant pain from your hemorrhoids, you should consult your doctor.
Other causes of rectal bleeding exist that are much more serious than hemorrhoids. Inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancers can have rectal bleeding. Make your doctor aware of your bleeding. If you are older than forty years, have a family history of colorectal cancer, prolonged bleeding, or are experiencing other symptoms, you should not delay in seeing a doctor. If you have significant pain, bleeding, or a prolapsed hemorrhoid and are unable to contact your doctor, then you should be evaluated in the hospital. If you have a large amount of bleeding from your rectum, become weak, or experience dizziness, you should go to your hospital's emergency department.
In conclusion, most of the time hemorrhoids can be managed by your doctor. A few situations may require you to go to the emergency department. Almost always the doctor will only need a history and physical exam to evaluate your hemorrhoids. Sometimes you may need anoscopy for your exam. In anoscopy, a small, lighted scope is placed into your anus to fully see the anus and lower rectum. The procedure is slightly uncomfortable but is easily performed in a doctor's office and does not require sedation. There is not just one cure for hemorrhoids.
