What Do Hemorrhoids Look Like?
Many people suffering from hemorrhoids wonder what they look like. Hemorrhoids are broadly divided into two main categories – Internal and External. However there are different symptom and treatments for each type.
The answer to what do hemorrhoids look like depends on which type your suffering from.
Internal Hemorrhoids – (varicosities draining the branches of the superior rectal arteries) develop inside the anal canal, but they may protrude out of the anus as well, this is known as Prolapsed Hemorrhoid.
In the case of a Prolapsed Internal Hemorrhoid, (internal hemorrhoids that are pushed outside of the anus) will be reddish pink, and can also cause mucus and soiling of your underwear.
* There are 4 Different Grades of Internal Hemorrhoids
Grade 1 – Are the least serious, these can sometimes bleed, but generally do not Prolapse and can usually be cured with a change of lifestyle including the right diet, drinking plenty of water and sufficient exercise. Grade 2 – The Hemorrhoid starts to bulge out of the anal opening with bowel movements, but generally returns inside the rectum by itself. Grade 3 – The Prolapsed Hemorrhoid bulges with bowel movements and requires assistance to be placed back inside the rectum. Grade 4 – These are the most serious type and usually cannot be treated without Medical Procedures, as the rectal inner lining also starts to protrude from the anus. In extreme cases both Internal and External types can be present.
External Hemorrhoids – (varicosities draining the inferior rectal arteries) develop around the external area the anus and can be felt near the anal opening. These are recognised as a separate condition than Internal Hemorrhoids. They are much more obvious and are considered to be more painful than the Internal type. If untreated External hemorrhoids can become prone to thrombosis.
* A Thrombosed Hemorrhoid (a blood clot that forms in the Hemorrhoid) will appear dark red or purple in color. Thrombosed Hemorrhoids are generally very painful and are usually accompanied by a large degree of swelling of the affected area.
External Hemorrhoids may also bleed in more severe cases, due to irritation and harder stools. This type of Hemorrhoid can often take on a brownish color, and may appear as a single mass, grape like (full, flattened or wrinkly), clustered, or small marbles hanging from the anal opening. The size, shape and number that are visible will vary in each person.
