10 Hemorrhoids Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: A Lump
Some hemorrhoids are actually apparent when the area is looked at. In these cases, the hemorrhoid often appears as a small lump near the anus. This lump is usually irritated or itchy, and can be managed by applying topical hemorrhoid cream.
A lump can also be an indication of a thrombosed hemorrhoid, which is a hemorrhoid with a blot clot. Blood clots can occur in both internal or external hemorrhoids; however, the lump will typically be able to be viewed from the outside of the anus.
