Understanding the External Hemorrhoid

By Heidi Marie

Hemorrhoids are uncomfortable and painful at times. They are common and can be treated as soon as the symptoms are detected. The most uncomfortable type is the external hemorrhoid. This is the type that is visible on the exterior of the anus. When your tissues in your rectum weaken and become strained from high blood pressure, they will form a pocket of blood and develop underneath the skin. The internal hemorrhoid is not visible as it forms inside and cannot be seen. Often the internal hemorrhoid doesn't display any obvious symptoms and if noticed it is usually blood in the stool. They are the same condition just named differently depending on where they occur.

The external hemorrhoid shares the same symptoms of an internal hemorrhoid as in there is burning and itching of the area, pain before, during and after a bowel movement and bleeding from the bowel movement. Because the external hemorrhoid is located on the outside, this may be more painful and the symptoms are more obvious. The hemorrhoid will look purple because it is filled with blood and they often appear in as multiple bulges cluttered together. Because the bulge is located on the outside, the bleeding is more frequent and evident.

Sometimes an external hemorrhoid is a protrusion of an internal hemorrhoid which is called prolapsed. There are different stages of hemorrhoids and the latter of the stages means that an internal hemorrhoid has started to fall out of the rectum and appear on the outside. It can be pushed back in unless it is in the last and the worst stage, then it cannot be physically inserted back in the anus without immediately falling out right after. The tissues in the anus are strained so much they lack the ability to hold the hemorrhoid internally.

If a hemorrhoid is thrombosed (originally forms on the exterior) or prolapsed (originally forms internally but becomes external) it usually need to be removed by a basic surgery. Your doctor can arrange for its removal with a laser or simply have it cut off. A general anesthetic is used and the bulge is removed very easily. This surgery is for very irritating and discomforting hemorrhoids and often offer immediate relief.
