Hammerheads are nothing but swollen and inflamed veins present inside the internal regions of the penis or the rectum. As a result there may be simmering pain whenever there is a strain on that particular part. Although embarrassing sometimes the signs and symptoms of hammerheads are most inevitable and can be easily detected.
Signs and symptoms usually depend on the location of the
hemorrhoids
Internal hemorrhoids:
Internal hemorrhoids are the most difficult kind of hemorrhoids to detect because they are not visible to the naked eye .also they are relatively painless. The only significant difference might be found during the emission of stool. This is because strain caused by emission of stool might lead to injury on the delicate surface of the hemorrhoids causing it to bleed. As a result of this you might notice red blood on your toilet tissue or in the toilet bowl. But you never feel any pain. This is because internal anal membranes lack pain sensitive nerve fiber. But you might experience a feeling of fullness in your rectum following a bowel
movement. Occasionally, straining can push an internal hemorrhoid through the anal opening. If a hemorrhoid is displaced it might cause irritation.
External hemorrhoids:
This kind of hemorrhoids are far more painful than the internal hemorrhoids this is because in internal anal membranes lack pain sensitive nerve fibers but our external surface has a very sensitive pain nerve fiber. Often blood may pool in an external hemorrhoid and form a clot (thrombus), causing severe pain, swelling and inflammation. When irritated, external hemorrhoids can itch or bleed. Internal hemorrhoids cause mucus discharge and a sensation of incomplete evacuation, and external hemorrhoids cause difficulty in cleansing the anal region.
