"Hello my name is Dr. Susan Jewell and on behalf of Expert Village today I am going to talk about the topic of hemorrhoids. Now, we could address how hemorrhoids are formed. What are the courses and the signs of symptoms and specifically find ways to alleviate the pain from hemorrhoids. Now in this clip we are going to talk about the signs and symptoms. So, what are some of the signs and symptoms that you get when you think that you're getting hemorrhoids or you are having hemorrhoids? Well, here is a list of most common signs and symptoms. The first thing of course you're going to find itchiness and redness around the rectum area or the anus area. It is very discomforting. You just can't stop the itch and it's also accompanied by pain. And it depends on the degree of the formation of the hemorrhoids the intensity of the pain. If you're going to get external hemorrhoids, cause you get the two type, the external which actually the hemorrhoids form and they protrude from the anus region, or you can also get internal hemorrhoids which are embedded inside the tissue itself, those are less painful, but still you're going to get pain. If you have external hemorrhoids you're going to get sort of blister like sores that surround the anus region. A lot of hemorrhoids are accompanied by bleeding, bleeding either because of scratched the hemorrhoids, you've caused some lacerations from the hemorrhoids itself, so you're going to get bleeding from the anus region. Anytime you see any bleeding from the anus region, you must immediately go and seek professional help. So go and see the doctor. So these are some of the signs and symptoms of hemorrhoids that you expect most patient to come in complaining most often about."
