Prolapsed hemorrhoid
The prolapsed hemorrhoid is when your internal hemorrhoids begin to swell and stick out of the anus. Doctors may grade the prolapsed hemrhoid based on how far the hemorrhoid extends from the anus. Here are the grades for a prolapsed hemrrhoid.
Grade One:
The internal hemorrhoids do not protrude far enough from the anus at this stage.
Grade Two:
The hemorrhoids are prolapsed, but they will retract themselves. Hemorrhoids can prolapse only when the patient applies pressure to the anus area or rectal region. Prolapse of hemorrhoids can occur when someone strains during bowel movements, or puts pressure on the rectal or anal area. After straining the hemorrhoids may return to their normal position.
Grade Three:
Prolapsed hemorrhoids must be pushed back into place by the patient. These hemorrhoids need immediate treatment to prevent them from becoming painful or infected.
Grade four:
The patient cannot push back prolapsed hemorrhoids without suffering a lot of pain. Doctors suggest the right treatment to prevent discomfort, pain or further complications.
Prolapse hemorrhoids can appear as red lumps or bumps that protrude from the anal surface. If a person looks at the area in a mirror, they can see red lumps. The protrusion and pain are the only symptoms of hemorrhoids that prolapse. In some cases, the patient may need to undergo surgical treatment to remove or correct a prolapsed hemrrhoid. This will reduce the pain and complications that result from prolapsed hemrrhoids.
