Thrombosed hemroids

Thrombosed hemroids are hemroids that have clotted on the inside of the anus (a 'thrombus'). These clots form in the veins of the rectum just under the skin. External thrombosed hemroids can be seen and/or felt. Sometimes they are soft. Other times they are hard.

Because they consist of the strangulation of a vein that is just under the skin, thrombosed hemroids most commonly turn blue. Also, the outer skin can redden if the hemroid in question is irritated and becomes inflamed. Although they are quite often very painful, thrombosed hemroids do not normally require surgery.
