Prolapsed Hemorrhoid A Pain You Don’t Need To Suffer From
Varicose Veins and a prolapsed hemorrhoid are very common in nature with one difference. Varicose veins are located in the legs while hemorrhoids are found in the rectal area. Hemorrhoids are the veins when the become swollen.
The veins in the anal area are very thin walled and flexible. The bowels are flexible in nature to account for passing stool. The veins in the same area are able to flex and contract similar to the bowels.
The veins in the anal area are unique and are unlike any other vein in the body by being as stretchable as the anal veins. When the blood vessels in the anal region become filled with blood they will become distended and unusually large.
After the veins become full of blood due to excessive pressure they are called hemorrhoids. With excessive stretching the veins cannot return to there original shape and start to become problems. If the veins become to large they can become heavy and turn into a prolapsed or external hemorrhoid.
Sometimes hemorrhoids do not protrude out of the anus and remain around the rim, inside the anus. Many times people will not even know that they have a internal hemorrhoid until they notice bleeding.
When a hemorrhoid becomes prolapsed and hangs out of the anus it is labeled as a external hemorrhoid. There are different levels of external hemorrhoids.
The first level is when the prolapsed hemorrhoid hangs out when having a bowel movement, but retracts on its own afterwards.
The second level is when the prolapsed hemorrhoid extends out of the anus, but can be manually replaced.
The third and worst stage is the hemorrhoid prolapses and cannot be replaced at all.
The worst classification of hemorrhoids is a thrombosed or choked hemorrhoid. This can lead to a more serious condition involving blood clots and very painful. The symptoms that are most often complained of are pain, bleeding itching and burning.
