What is the difference between Thrombosed & strangeled hemorrhoids?

May 302010

I have a prolapsed internal hemorrhoid and plan to see a Dr. soon about it but was curious what the difference is? The description I have read online sound the same except one is from external and the other is from internal hemmies. Thanks!

Also, about a year ago my hemm. gave me a few days of moderate pain and bleeding. What caused this? Did it burst or something. I didn’t think anything of it except that I wanted relief from the pain but I let it heal on it’s own. Thanks!

I think the condition is actually called strangulated hemorrhoid, and as far as I understand it, the strangulated hemorrhoid is a prolapsed hemorrhoid (an internal hemorrhoid which has pushed through the anal opening) who has the blood supply cut off by the anal sphincter.

A thrombosed hemorrhoid is an external hemorrhoid, so it develops outside the lower rectum from the beginning, and it’s defined by a hard lump or swelling formed by a blood clot.

The condition you are describing points indeed to the conclusion that your hemorrhoid ruptured. This is quite common and it happens when the blood pressure in the veins increases, which leads to stress and ruptures. The high blood pressure was most probably caused by a sudden movement, stretchering, increased heart beat or something similar.

Hope this helps :)

I have an external hemorrhoid, and also some internal ones, should i have surgery to have them removed? 19/F?

Try this for 1 week first and think of surgery.
First thing in the morning -Sqeeze a whole lemon into a glass of milk and drink it.Do this for 7 days. The haemorrhoids should start to shrink.

Does anyone know how to treat hemorrhoids?

the best cream to ask for is (Hydrocortisone)that is the generic it might have a brand name that contains this ingrediant ….it works!!!!

I have external hemorrhoids. I used to do weights. Can I do push-ups(as alternative) without aggravating them.

I have external hemorrhoids.I am using OTC’s. They are working and I am feeling better now. I used to do weights. I have read that weight training will prevent healing of hemorrhoids. Can I do push-ups(as alternative to weight training) without aggravating the hemorrohoids?.

wait for six months or it will re lapse with the pressure of weights
