HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are not life-threatening, but they can make life miserable for some people.

Internal and External Hemorrhoids

Internal hemorrhoids are far enough inside the rectum that you can’t usually see or feel them. They don’t generally hurt because you have few pain-sensing nerves there. Bleeding may be the only sign of them.

External hemorrhoids are under the skin around the anus, where there are many more pain-sensing nerves, so they tend to hurt as well as bleed.

While most hemorrhoids occur on the outside of the anus and are fairly easy to treat, internal hemorrhoids can be more challenging.

GI SURGEONS can treat internal hemorrhoids.
