Is Surgery Neccessary for Hemroids

There are two types of hemorrhoids, those which remain in the anal cavity and those that protrude outside the anal cavity. With internal hemorrhoids, most people don't even know they may have a hemroid condition because there are no pain sensors in this area and they might not have any symptoms. The way most patients figure out they have internal hemroids is because of blood when using the bathroom. Without treatment an internal hemorrhoid may turn into a more serious problem such as prolapsed hemroids or a strangulated hemorrhoid. A prolapsed hemorrhoid is simply when the internal hemorrhoid gets so expanded that it extends out of the anal cavity and a strangulated hemroid is when a prolapsed hemorrhoid becomes trapped outside the anal cavity due to a muscle spasm and then the blood supply to the hemorrhoids gets cut off.
