Complications of the
Hemorrhoids includes the following
• Strangulation: When a pile that sticks out of the body swells
considerably and the blood flowing into it cannot return to the
body.
• Gangrene (tissue death): If there is a lack of blood supply to
a pile.
• Infection: Where an abscess may form around the rectum and
anus causing pain and swelling.
• Thrombosis and pain: A blood clot in the hemorrhoid may cause
severe pain and usually demands immediate medical attention.
• Bleeding: Hemorrhoids can ooze fresh red blood, whether
located externally or internally. External hemorrhoids often
cause dripping of blood from the anus while sitting on the
toilet. The blood might also be seen as soiling of the
underwear. Internal hemorrhoids that bleed may produce fresh
blood in the stool.
• Itching and Irritation: External hemorrhoids can be itchy,
especially if the area is moist and irritated.
• Hemorrhoids may cause several uncomfortable but not the
serious problems. Blood clot in the hemorrhoid will cause the
severe pain and may require immediate medical attention.
