What are the symptoms of hemorrhoids? what to do?

Hemorrhoids have a high incidence among anorectal diseases, and the disease affects a large number of people with varying ages. So what symptoms usually appear when hemorrhoids occur?

1. Bleeding in the stool

Hemorrhoids cause bleeding in the stool, which is usually painless and intermittent. In most cases, there is bright red blood after defecation. It is a very common early symptom. Patients often complain that "fresh blood drips down from the anus after defecation" or "there is blood on the toilet paper." Bleeding usually occurs before or after defecation. There may be simple blood in the stool, or it may be mixed with stool. The blood is bright red, and it bleeds in the form of spurts, drops, or blood when wiped.

2. Rectal pain

This situation is generally the main manifestation of external hemorrhoids. If the patient has internal hemorrhoids and there is no inflammation, there is basically no pain. If the internal hemorrhoids are infected, incarcerated, or have strangulated necrosis, this will cause severe pain. In mild cases, there is a feeling of fullness and heaviness, while in severe cases, there is a painful heaviness.

3. Painful bowel movements

The symptoms of hemorrhoids include blood in the stool and pain after defecation. Generally, patients will experience perianal pain during defecation. Because the nervous system around the anus is relatively developed and sensitive, pain can easily occur when stimulated. It usually manifests as mild pain, tingling, burning pain, distension, etc.
