10 Hemorrhoids Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Irritation
Irritation and discomfort are quite common among people who are struggling with hemorrhoids. Both internal and external hemorrhoids are known for causing irritation and itching. External hemorrhoids can be less difficult to deal with because the affected area can often be soothed with topical treatments; internal hemorrhoids can be harder to manage.
Irritation and discomfort are often much more apparent when the patient is having a bowel movement, but it’s not uncommon for a patient with a serious hemorrhoid to be bothered throughout the day. Irritation can be sporadic or consistent depending on the type and severity of the hemorrhoid.
