10 Hemorrhoids Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Swelling
Some hemorrhoids can cause swelling in or around the anus. The hemorrhoid itself can be the cause of swelling as it pushes against the skin of the anus or the rectum. In this case, there is nothing to worry about aside from taking regular precautions regarding your hemorrhoid.
However, if there is swelling along with pain, discomfort, and possibly bleeding, this can be an indication that the hemorrhoid has become infected. This could mean that it’s time to seek medical attention.
