10 Hemorrhoids Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Constipation
In some cases, people may develop hemorrhoids that are so large that they affect the person’s ability to pass stools. This is not common, but occurs when the hemorrhoid actually obstructs the anus or the rectum, making it harder for stools to pass through. This can also occur if the area becomes infected and swollen.
In some cases, taking laxatives can help to loosen up the stool so it passes through. However, the most important thing to do in this situation is to maintain proper hygiene and seek help from a medical doctor or other professional. It should be noted that constipation also is a common cause of hemorrhoids and so being constipated with hemorrhoids will only exacerbate the problem.
