About 89% the population has experienced one or more of these classic symptoms:
- Pain – Irritated, tender, painful skin around the anal region is a common symptom of hemorrhoids.
- Bleeding – The most common symptom of hemorrhoids is blood. There can be blood in the stool, on the toilet paper or in the toilet bowl. This can cause many people to feel totally freaked out.
- Swelling – straining, either lifting or passing the bowel movement on the toilet, can often cause swelling. Local skin irritation can result in swelling of the area also.
- Itching –itching in the area has many causes. It can be from foods you eat, swelling in the affected area, increase in heat or moisture, dry skin or dermatitis.
Hemorrhoids can be completely painless at times although most people have some degree of discomfort. In nearly every instance, external hemorrhoids can be terribly painful due to their location outside the anus.
