Internal hemorrhoids are classified by the degree of tissue prolapse into the anal canal:

If you are like millions of people around the globe, you know only too well what hemorrhoid pain is like. Hemorrhoids are a very common ailment that are caused from the pressure on the veins of the wall of the rectum. Too much straining makes these veins come away from the wall and they become the unwanted swollen nasties at the base of your anus and rectum.

Hemorrhoid pain symptoms include burning, itching, and bleeding. It's important to note that any bleeding from the anus should be immediately reported to your doctor, as it may indicate other problems. Hemorrhoid pain can be so debilitating that people have had to sort surgery to relieve the problem. However, in my honest opinion, surgery should be the last avenue that you look at when faced with hemorrhoid pain, as there are some very good products on the market that can treat it.

It is not unusual for sufferers to have hemorrhoid pain even in sitting. The hemorrhoid is often protruding from the anus and can become swollen and irritated from sitting. Your doctor may suggest that you take an over the counter pain medication to deal with it and also prescribe a cream to apply. This cream is usually thick and paste like in texture and needs to be smeared around the anus and the effected areas liberally. You should ensure that the hemorrhoids have been cleaned thoroughly prior to applying and that they are pat dry.

It's worth noting that there are many beneficial herbal remedies that can also deal with hemorrhoid pain. Despite the botanical ingredients, a herbal remedy should not be discounted as being weak and ineffective. In many cases it can not only ease the pain but can also go a long way in healing the effected areas and promote healthy bowel regularity.
