In most cases hemorrhoids symptoms will be obvious to the sufferer the most obvious being a sharp pain or burning sensation around the anus, in the majority of cases, the symptoms will disappear on their own within a week or so, they may even be unnoticed by some people who may not even realize they had them.
However, more commonly they will be felt or seen outside the anal opening, there may be one or several that can have the appearance of a bunch of tiny grapes, these are usually prolapsed hemorrhoids that means they have formed inside the anus and have been forced out during defecation.
Hemorrhoids can differ in size and appearance, generally they may be around the size of a pea, but they can grow a lot bigger, well over an inch in diameter are not uncommon. They may be smooth on the outside or they may also also be wrinkled.
Hemorrhoid Symptoms may include some or all of the following:
Constant itchiness around the anus
General feeling of soreness and burning around the anus.
Excessive straining when defecating
Bleeding after you have passed a stool (this will be bright red blood)
The presence of mucus after defecation
Feeling of pain while passing a stool
Feeling like your bowels are still full even after emptying
Bloodstains on underwear
A sufferer may even have the misfortune to get blood clots around the anus too these are medically referred to as thrombosed external hemorrhoids and it is this condition that can become very painful and may be also serious if not treated promptly.
Just to clarify a point to the reader in case they are unaware, hemorrhoids can be either external (visible from the outside) or internal (inside the anal canal and not visible).
