Symptoms And Treatment Of Prolapsed Hemorrhoids

When the blood veins around the rectum area are strained hemorrhoids can be formed; there are two types of hemorrhoids, internal and external. The external hemorrhoids can be seen, felt and can even cause itching, burning as well as pain at times but the internal type cannot be felt unless they get large enough to get out of the rectum during bowel movement or otherwise in the form of what is known as prolapsed hemorrhoids. There are different degrees of the prolapsed hemorrhoids and they are: a second degree of prolapsed hemorrhoid is the type that only protrudes out of the rectum during the bowel movement and will retract itself automatically; the third degree is the type that can be manually inserted into the rectum and the fourth degree prolapsed hemorrhoid is the type that hangs out of the rectum at all times and cannot be inserted back inside.

The first degree prolapsed hemorrhoid, which is considered the type inside the rectum has no symptoms because it cannot be felt however, the rest will have one or all of the following symptoms: itching, burning with pain along with bright red blood in the stool and mucus secretion.
