What are the main symptoms of internal hemorrhoids

Internal hemorrhoids are a common manifestation of hemorrhoids. Generally speaking, the symptoms are not obvious in the early stages of the disease, and patients often do not pay enough attention to it until the disease worsens, which causes great harm to patients and often causes symptoms of pain. This pain is not only swelling of the anus, but also prone to itching, causing difficulty in defecation, and often leads to bloody stools.

First, pain:

Simple internal hemorrhoids are generally painless, and sometimes only cause a feeling of heaviness in the anus or difficulty in defecation. If the hemorrhoids are inflamed and swollen, there may be thrombosis or incarceration in the hemorrhoids, which will cause pain. If they are prolapsed and not repositioned in time, the pain will worsen. If incarceration occurs, there will be ulceration and necrosis, causing inflammation and edema of the anal margin, the pain will be severe and the patient will be restless.

Second, mucus discharge:

Long-term irritation of the rectal mucosa by hemorrhoids causes increased secretions; in the late stage of internal hemorrhoids, secretions often flow out of the anus due to relaxation of the anal sphincter. In mild cases, it will flow out during bowel movements, and in severe cases, it will flow out naturally even without bowel movements. When internal hemorrhoids prolapse, there will be more discharge.

Third, itching:

Due to the stimulation of secretions or prolapsed hemorrhoids, the area around the anus becomes damp and unclean, causing eczema and itching. The itching sometimes persists for a long time due to the repeated effects of prolapse of internal hemorrhoids.

Fourth, blood in the stool:

The characteristic is painless, intermittent discharge of bright red blood after defecation, which is also a symptom of internal hemorrhoids or a common symptom of early mixed hemorrhoids. Sometimes there is a small amount of blood on the surface of the stool, and sometimes it is dripping blood or spurting blood. Because feces abrades the mucosa, or because of excessive force during defecation, the pressure in the blood vessels increases, causing varicose veins to rupture, resulting in spurt-like bleeding during defecation. Long-term and repeated bleeding, or multiple heavy bleeding, can also cause anemia.

I believe that through the above explanation everyone has a deeper understanding of internal hemorrhoids. Many patients' anemia is caused by hemorrhoids. This disease is very common, and the current treatment methods for the disease are painless surgeries, which cause little trauma to patients and quick recovery.
