Hemorrhoid Thrombosis Buy Hemorrhoid Treatments Online

Thrombosis hemorrhoids that have developed a clot on the inside (a ‘thrombus’). These clots form in the veins of the rectum or anus, just under the skin. External thrombosed hemorrhoids can be seen with the naked eye, and/or felt during physical examination – sometimes they are soft, like raisins; other times, they are hard, like frozen peas. Thrombosed hemorrhoids, because they involve the strangulation or plugging of a vein just under the skin, usually turn slightly purple or blue; the outer skin can also redden, if the hemorrhoid is irritated and becomes inflamed. Though quite often painful, thrombosed hemorrhoids do not usually require surgery. They can be effectively treated with warm baths, hemorrhoid cream and a change in diet (to include more fiber, thus loosening or softening the stools). In the case of more serious thrombosed hemorrhoids, when surgery is indicated, the clot can be drained or excised, or the entire section of affected vein can be removed.

Thrombosed external hemorrhoids are caused by blood pooling in a distended vein and forming a clot, or thrombus, in the outer region of the anus. These particular hemorrhoids usually cause a great deal of pain, as well as some swelling and itching, but they don’t bleed.

Treatment of thrombosed external hemorrhoids is either to drain the clot or the hemorrhoid, or to remove either the clot or the hemorrhoid altogether (hemorrhoidectomy).
