    Itching around the anus, bleeding and/or any lumps that protrude out of the anus. You can use anusol as a treatment!

    You can find out more about natural hemorrhoids cure here http://curehemorrhoid.info/

    Diarrhea can contribute to hemorrhoid formation because the bowel undergoes pressure strains due to the condition. Undue pressure on the veins that make up internal hemorrhoidal structures can worsen existing damage. Internal hemorrhoids are not visible, unless they proplapse (protrude) from the anus, either constantly or during a bowel movement. If this is the case, then you have a grade III or IV internal hemorrhoid. If the protrusion is on the anal verge or the area surrounding the anus, then its likely an external hemorrhoid. Reducing pressure from issues of diarrhea and constipation will help. Not straining during a bowel movement, not lifting heavy objects, not sitting for extended periods, all will help.

    An external hemorrhoid is simply a vein located at the anal verge, the wall of which as weakened and protruded. Don't push on it, this will only increase pressure and worsen it. The body has to repair the vein wall and rebuild the integrity. This takes time, perhaps weeks, if all goes well. Use sitz baths and over-the-counter medications such as pads or creams to provide symptom relief in the interim. These won't solve the issue long term, but will give the tissue a better chance at self-healing.

    Internal hemorrhoids are a different matter and require more intervention. Your best bet is to educate yourself about the condition, its causes and what options there are to treat it both short and long term. Don't ignore it though, hemorrhoids tend to become chronic in nature, lasting years or decades in some cases.

    Hemorrhoids, also known as piles are swollen veins around the anal opening or the anal canal. They can be painful and linger on for a long time causing distress. Fortunately, there are a number of home remedies that are as effective and provides fast relief https://tr.im/Tkb8V

    The main symptoms include bleeding during the bowel movement and itching. The first thing that people do to cure hemorrhoids is get an OTC medication, without knowing their possible side effects.

    Your bottom hurts and bleeds when you poo and for some time afterwards, sometimes. Piles comes and goes though, so you won't always get it.

    Just some corrections-it's not always out of your bottom...those are the worst kind but it can just be very small and inside. Also...it's not always that painful. I find it only hurts when I need to toilet and after I have been. People tend to think of the worst as what is normal, and it isn't.

    You will be in a lot of pain every time you go to the toilet. Also there will be bright red blood on the outside surface of your stools. If the blood is dark or inside the stools it indicates that you may have another bowel problem.

    Either way see your GP.

    lumpy anus, also you may bleed when using the loo, it's not from your bum but the lumps around it, they bleed when under pressure. You can get cream for it though. Go see the DR to be sure
