What is the difference to anal fissure and anal thrombosis?
Hemorrhoids are a widespread disease, which are often painless and are only noticed by palpation. It is an enlargement of the vascular cushion that sits in the lower part of the anus and naturally seals the anus. The enlargement causes the mucous membrane to bulge.
An anal fissure, on the other hand, refers to the tearing of the anal mucosa, which is often accompanied by small bleedings and visible fresh blood in the stool. An anal thrombosis is a clot of venous blood that leads to a nodular change. This is often very painful and is therefore usually noticed more quickly.
