Internal Hemorrhoids

What are internal hemorrhoids? They are abnormally enlarged or swollen veins in rectum, and because they originate above the dentate line they are usually painless.

Inside of the anus is surrounded by tissue called ''anal cushions'', excessive pressure causes this tissue to swell and stretch.

Bleeding is caused by hard stool passing swollen and already irritated hemorrhoids, it literally rips open the irritated tissue.

Internal hemorrhoids can be divided in four degrees of severity, anal bleeding can occur with any of them.

1. Hemorrhoids do not protrude from the anus.
2. Hemorrhoids protrude from the anus but retreat back inside without help.
3. Hemorrhoids protrude form the anus but can not retreat without help and must be pushed back inside.
4. Hemorrhoids constantly protrude from the anus and can not be pushed back.
