Hemorrhoids Relief Hemorrhoids alleviated without surgery. Read experiences of people who have found instant relief . This enlargement of anal veins and the associated symptoms are a common condition and, although they can be very uncomfortable, they are usually not dangerous. However, any rectal bleeding lasting more than a couple of days should be checked by a doctor because it may be an indication of something more serious, such as anal fissure or colon cancer. There are two kinds of hemorrhoids, internal and external.
Internal hemorrhoids occur inside the anal canal where there is an absence of pain sensitivity.
Even though painless, this type of hemorrhoidal tissue is subject to bleeding. In addition, when the internal type becomes very large, the veins may prolapse, in which the enlarged blood vessel protrudes outside of the anal opening. There it may become sensitive and painful. External hemorrhoids occur under the skin around the anal opening and are usually very painful. Symptoms may include rectal bleeding or mucous and itching or pain around the anus.
