  Hemorrhoids are dilated vessels of the hemorrhoidal plexus in the anal canal. Symptoms include irritation and bleeding. Thrombosed hemorrhoids are usually painful. […] Hemorrhoids are often asymptomatic, or they may simply protrude. Pruritus ani is not commonly caused by hemorrhoids unless they are significantly prolapsed. […] External hemorrhoids may become thrombosed, resulting in a painful, purplish swelling. Rarely, they ulcerate and cause minor bleeding. Cleansing the anal region may be difficult. […] Internal hemorrhoids typically manifest with bleeding after defecation; blood is noted on toilet tissue and sometimes in the toilet bowl. Internal hemorrhoids may be uncomfortable but are not as painful as thrombosed external hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoids sometimes cause mucus discharge and a sensation of incomplete evacuation.

• #2 Hemorrhoids: Background, Anatomy, Etiology and Pathophysiology

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/775407-overview

  Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the lower rectum. They are among the most common causes of anal pathology, and subsequently are blamed for virtually any anorectal complaint by patients and medical professionals alike. […] Symptoms can range from mildly bothersome, such as pruritus, to quite concerning, such as rectal bleeding. […] Most symptoms arise from enlarged internal hemorrhoids. Abnormal swelling of the anal cushions causes dilatation and engorgement of the arteriovenous plexuses. This leads to stretching of the suspensory muscles and eventual prolapse of rectal tissue through the anal canal. The engorged anal mucosa is easily traumatized, leading to rectal bleeding that is typically bright red due to high blood oxygen content within the arteriovenous anastomoses. Prolapse leads to soiling and mucus discharge (triggering pruritus) and predisposes to incarceration and strangulation.

  The prolapse may shrink back on its own, need manual shrinking or be irreducible, depending on the severity of the disease. The treatment choice largely depends on the extent of the prolapse and on the severity of the other symptoms. For this reason, the assessment of the prolapse must be precise and carried out both at rest and during straining for defecation. It is thus important to see a doctor and undergo a colorectal exam when symptoms first appear. […] Hemorrhoids can be classified as grade I, II, III and IV, depending on the severity of the symptoms, mainly prolapse. […] GRADE I: hemorrhoids are visible on anoscopy and may bulge out on straining, despite not being prolapsed. […] GRADE II: prolapse is visible at the anal margin when straining and shrinks spontaneously afterwards. […] GRADE III: persistent prolapse of the mucous membrane outside of the anal canal which may be pressed in by hand. […] GRADE IV: permanent prolapse of the external mucous membrane of the anal canal that cannot be pressed in. […] Note: In all grades above, arterial bleeding is often associated.

[…] For many people, the symptoms of external hemorrhoids go away within a few days. […] If you have internal hemorrhoids, you may have bleeding from your rectum, bright red blood on stool, on toilet paper, or in the toilet bowl after a bowel movement, a hemorrhoid that has fallen through your anal opening, called prolapse. […] Internal hemorrhoids that are not prolapsed most often are not painful. Prolapsed internal hemorrhoids may cause pain and discomfort. […] Although hemorrhoids are the most common cause of anal symptoms, not every anal symptom is caused by a hemorrhoid. Some hemorrhoid symptoms are similar to those of other digestive tract problems.

  Symptomatic external hemorrhoids often present as a bluish-colored painful lump just outside the anus. They tend to occur spontaneously and may have been preceded by an unusual amount of straining. The pain is usually constant and can be severe. […] The pain associated with a symptomatic, thrombosed external hemorrhoid often peaks about 48-72 hours after its onset and is largely resolving after roughly four-five days. Pain is the indication to treat thrombosed external hemorrhoids and, therefore, the treatment will depend upon the timing from the initial thrombosis.

  Internal hemorrhoids most commonly cause painless bleeding with bowel movements. The covering epithelium is damaged by the hard bowel movement, and the underlying veins bleed. With spasm of the sphincter complex elevating pressure, the internal hemorrhoidal veins can spurt. […] External hemorrhoids cause symptoms in two ways. First, acute thrombosis of the underlying external hemorrhoidal vein can occur. Acute thrombosis is usually related to a specific event, such as physical exertion, straining with constipation, a bout of diarrhea, or a change in diet. These are acute, painful events.

  More recent studies show that patients with hemorrhoids tend to have a higher resting anal canal tone that is, the smooth muscle of the anal canal tends to be tighter than average (even when not straining). Constipation adds to these troubles, because straining during a bowel movement increases pressure in the anal canal and pushes the hemorrhoids against the sphincter muscle. Finally, the connective tissues that support and hold hemorrhoids in place can weaken with age, causing hemorrhoids to bulge and prolapse.

[…] Symptoms can range from mildly bothersome, such as pruritus, to quite concerning, such as rectal bleeding. […] Most symptoms arise from enlarged internal hemorrhoids. Abnormal swelling of the anal cushions causes dilatation and engorgement of the arteriovenous plexuses. This leads to stretching of the suspensory muscles and eventual prolapse of rectal tissue through the anal canal. The engorged anal mucosa is easily traumatized, leading to rectal bleeding that is typically bright red due to high blood oxygen content within the arteriovenous anastomoses. Prolapse leads to soiling and mucus discharge (triggering pruritus) and predisposes to incarceration and strangulation.
