Hemorrhoids Degrees and Severities --
How Bad Can It Get?
As you may already have been aware -- hemorrhoids come in various shapes and sizes, and how severe they are also
can vary greatly from case to case. Due to this, there is a way to differentiate between the different degrees of
hemorrhoids. By knowing and understanding how mild or severe hemorrhoids can be, you'll be able to appreciate just
how much of a difference there is!
Before we jump into that, there are a few things that you need to be aware of though. Firstly, the various
'degrees' of hemorrhoids only apply to internal hemorrhoids (i.e. those that have formed inside the rectum).
External hemorrhoids (as yet) don't really have a formal system to measure how severe they are, and the difference
should be quite clear.
More importantly however, there is one term that you need to know about, and that is 'prolapsed hemorrhoids'.
If you've heard of this before, great, but if you haven't then you should know that prolapsed hemorrhoids are
basically just internal hemorrhoids that have grown and been pushed outside the anus itself. Due to this, they look
like growths extending from the anus itself, and they can bleed and be extremely painful at times.
Anyway, now that we've covered that, here are the four degrees of internal hemorrhoids:
1. Grade 1
As far as hemorrhoids go, these are the mildest and consist of hemorrhoids that do not prolapse. That means that
they remain as internal hemorrhoids but may still bleed when irritated. Generally speaking, the bulk of hemorrhoids
are within this grade, and some may even pass completely unnoticed by those who suffer from it.
2. Grade 2
In contrast to Grade 1, Grade 2 hemorrhoids do prolapse, but then they reduce in size fairly quickly afterwards. So
while you might have a prolapsed hemorrhoid for a while, it is going to shrink and reduce in size until it
practically isn't there at all.
3. Grade 3
Next in line would be the variety of hemorrhoids that do prolapse, but don't reduce immediately. In fact, they need
to be 'manually' reduced, through various procedures, treatments, and other things. All said and done, this is
certainly pesky as it will require you to tackle the hemorrhoid as soon as possible.
4. Grade 4
Last, but certainly not least, is the most severe variety of hemorrhoid -- and this is of the kind that cannot be
manually reduced. Unfortunately, this leaves you with few options, and it is definitely tedious... to say the
least.
Do you see how the different degrees of hemorrhoids can differ greatly? Being aware of the various types of
hemorrhoids that are out there, and improving your understanding in general will definitely be of help to you as
you fight your own hemorrhoids!
