Internal hemorrhoids (also known as internal hemorrhoids) are found inside the walls of the anus and the lower rectum. Due to the location of internal hemorrhoids it is considered challenging to correctly diagnose the presence of internal hemorrhoids. The correct diagnosis of internal hemorrhoids can only be made by a doctor who uses a scope or a gloved finger to probe the inside of the anal walls to locate the area of irritation.

Features of internal hemorrhoids

In the initial stages, internal hemorrhoids appear as small bumps along the anal and rectal walls, and thus very hard to detect. It becomes difficult to alleviate the symptoms associated with internal hemorrhoids as very few remedies can reach the affected area.

In normal conditions, small internal hemorrhoids are not very painful, and thus not noticed by the person suffering from it. As the lumps grow, these internal hemorrhoids cause more irritation and also become more painful and inflamed and this leads to worsening of the symptoms, like pain, itching, and burning sensation.

The more severe internal hemorrhoids have a tendency to exit out of the anus, or become prolapsed. People who are not aware of this condition might confuse prolapsed internal hemorrhoids with a case of external hemorrhoids. However, upon medical examination it can be revealed that the roots of the hemorrhoids still lie inside the anal walls.

In order to make sure that you have internal hemorrhoids, check for the following symptoms:

  • Bleeding
  • Itching
  • Pain
  • Having the urge to “go” even after having a bowel movement
  • A feeling of being “full” even after passing a stool
