There are 4 degrees of hemorrhoids. Vein Associates treats them all.
An annoying itch or pain in the anal area, or a protruding lump or bleeding during a bowel movement,
chances are its hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids may be external (outside the anus) and/or internal
(inside the rectum). External hemorrhoids (third and fourth degree) are covered by sensitive skin
and bleed only if they rupture. Internal hemorrhoids (first and second degree) on the other hand,
are not sensitive, yet protrude and bleed.
First degree - No protrusion, annoying itching or pain in the anal area
Second degree – Hemorrhoid protrudes but reduces spontaneously
Third degree – Hemorrhoid protrudes but reduces with manual reduction
Fourth degree – Permanent protrusion, will not reduce
