Description
Before we delve further into prolapsed haemorrhoids, it is important to understand what haemorrhoids are. Commonly called “piles”, haemorrhoids are a condition where the blood vessels in the anus or lower recturm become inflamed and swollen, which can cause discomfort, pain and bleeding. When haemorrhoids protrude beyond the rectum, the condition is referred to as ‘Prolapsed Hemorrhoids’ or ‘Internal Hemorrhoidal Prolapse’. Prolapsed haemorrhoids can be extremely uncomfortable or painful, especially if they become strangulated or irritated. It is, therefore, strongly recommended for individuals dealing with prolapsed haemorrhoids to consult a gastroenterologist or a colorectal surgery specialist as soon as possible.
