Frequently Asked Questions

What are hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed veins around the lower rectum or anus. There are two types of hemorrhoids: internal and external.

How do hemorrhoids start and are they common?

Hemorrhoids develop due to prolonged increased pressure in the rectum vessels. Common activities that can cause this increased pressure are frequent diarrhea, constipation, sitting for prolonged periods of time, heavy lifting, and pregnancy. Hemorrhoids are common, and about half of all individuals will have experienced hemorrhoids by age 50.

What are the symptoms of hemorrhoids?

Common symptoms of hemorrhoids include bright red blood from the anus, itching around the anus, rectal pain, and thrombosed (protruding) lumps from the anus.

Can hemorrhoids burst or bleed?

Both internal and external hemorrhoids can have a blood clot forming inside the vein (thrombosed), and if blood fills the vein, it can burst. The bleeding usually lasts a few seconds to several minutes (typically less than 10 minutes). However, you should be evaluated by a doctor to ensure that there is no sign of a larger medical issue.

Can hemorrhoids turn into cancer?

No, hemorrhoids are not known to cause cancer.

When do hemorrhoids require medical attention?

If you have hemorrhoids and they do not improve after a week of home care therapy, you should see your physician or a gastroenterologist (digestive health specialist). If your symptoms include rectal pain, itching around the anus, protruding lumps from the anus, or bright red blood from the anus, you should also see a doctor for proper diagnoses as the symptoms may be mimicking other conditions. It is important to rule out other conditions before commencing on hemorrhoids treatment.

How are hemorrhoids treated?

Hemorrhoid banding is a non-surgical technique to remove internal hemorrhoids. It involves cutting off the blood supply to the hemorrhoid by placing a small rubber band just above the internal hemorrhoid. This causes the hemorrhoid to shrink, and the band falls off within 24 hours. The procedure is fast and painless.
