External Thrombosed Hemorrhoid

For those that have suffered hemorrhoids, an external thrombosed hemorrhoid is quite painful. They are found outside of the anus, and occur when a hemorrhoid becomes strangulated, having the supply of blood cut off. Blood clots can then form in the hemorrhoid and usually surgery is required, although, some may respond to cortisone creams over a period of several weeks, if you can stand the pain that long.

The pain from an external thrombosed hemorrhoid has been compared to childbirth, kidney stones and other extremely painful conditions. The reason for the intense pain is that if the hemorrhoids develop in the veins, the external tissue develops a blood clot and the cell toxins can’t be carried away like they would be if the vein was flowing correctly, so they seep into the surrounding areas causing massive inflammation and pain. If an external hemorrhoid develops in the arteries, the surrounding tissue is deprived of oxygen and quickly dies.

The way the blood clot forms is due to the three kinds of blood cells-red, white and platelets. Red blood cells carry the oxygen, white blood cells form part of the immune system and the platelet coagulate the blood. Normally platelets only coagulate when the skin is cut, which is what forms scabs, however, sometimes they don’t require a break in the skin and they clot the blood.

Anytime the blood stops moving for too long, it will clot. Blood begins oozing through the tissue that is damaged and fills up under the skin. Blood moves very quickly through the arteries because of the pressure from the heart, but blood in the veins below the heart have to get back up to the heart through a combination of muscle action and one way valves in the canals of the veins.

The veins above the heart drain with the help of gravity, but those below have a system that has to backwash into the circulatory system. If a hemorrhoid catches hold in the vein canal, it can retain blood just off the main channel and form the clot. Typically pregnant women and young adults are the most prone to thrombosed external hemorrhoids, although the biggest cause seems to be straining or poor circulation.

External thrombosed hemorrhoids come with pain, itching, burning, swelling and inflammation, but the most telltale sign is the color. They tend to develop a deep red, deep purple, blue or black tint just underneath the skin, much like a bruise, due to the blood clot. Just like a bruise, sometimes these hemorrhoids will get better on their own as your body reabsorbs the clot. Many times, you need to go to a doctor to have a small surgical incision, in order to relieve the pressure and pain, and it is immediate, as the swelling starts to shrink.
