Hemorrhoids:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Although hemorrhoids may be asymptomatic, they characteristically cause painless, intermittent bleeding, which occurs on defecation. Bright red blood appears on stool or on toilet paper due to injury of the fragile mucosa covering the hemorrhoid. These first-degree hemorrhoids may itch because of poor anal hygiene. When second-degree hemorrhoids prolapse, they’re usually painless and spontaneously return to the anal canal following defecation. Third-degree hemorrhoids cause constant discomfort and prolapse in response to any increase in intra-abdominal pressure. They must be manually reduced. Thrombosis of external hemorrhoids produces sudden rectal pain and a subcutaneous, large, firm lump that the patient can feel. If hemorrhoids cause severe or recurrent bleeding, they may lead to secondary anemia with significant pallor, fatigue, and weakness; however, such systemic complications are rare.

Hemorrhoids:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
❑ Internal hemorrhoids may produce no symptoms. They characteristically cause painless, intermittent bleeding during defecation. Bright red blood appears in stools or on toilet paper because of injury to the fragile mucosa covering the hemorrhoid.
❑ When hemorrhoids prolapse, they’re usually painless and spontaneously return to the anal canal after defecation.
❑ External hemorrhoids cause constant discomfort and prolapse in response to any increase in intra-abdominal pressure. They can be manually reduced. Thrombosis of external hemorrhoids produces sudden rectal pain and a large, firm, subcutaneous lump that the patient can feel.
