FAQ’S
Yes, hemorrhoids can be classified as internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus). Internal hemorrhoids are typically painless but can cause bleeding, while external hemorrhoids can be painful and may form a clot (thrombosed hemorrhoid).
Hemorrhoids themselves are not typically dangerous, but they can cause discomfort and pain. In severe cases, they may require medical intervention.
You should see a doctor if you experience persistent symptoms of hemorrhoids such as bleeding, pain, or discomfort, especially if home remedies do not provide relief.
