Common Hemorrhoid Symptoms

You should take the following credo to heart: Any irregularity
you detect in or on or coming out of your body that does not go
away for good, pretty much by itself and fairly quickly, should
be checked out by a doctor
The symptoms of hemorrhoids can very easily be mistaken for
other, much more serious illnesses such as colon or rectal
cancer, which if left untreated can be fatal That being said
here’s what to watch out for in the case of hemorrhoids:
Any bleeding from the rectum before, during or after a bowel
movement and especially any bleeding in the absence of a bowel
movement
Any noticeable change in the size, shape or color of your stools
especially thin stools no wider than a pencil which would
indicate a blockage or a forming block in the large intestine,
or stools that are unusually dark and claylike
Anything oozing out of your anus that shouldn’t be – which is
pretty much anything other than fecal matter
Any fever combined with any gastrointestinal or other bowel
movement irregularity
Recurring diarrhea or constipation with abdominal bloating which
cannot be controlled easily and quickly by a diet change or over
the counter medicines
Any lumps, bulges, rashes or sore spots in the area of the anus
that do not completely disappear in a few days
Any pain or swelling from the rectal area that does not
disappear quickly and easily and can not be attributed to a
physical injury
Any tissue that bulges from the anus and does not return to its
normal size and its normal place after a few days
Any mysterious lump in the rectal area that you detect that does
not disappear quickly and completely in a few days
