Hemorrhoids blood clot, known also as hemorrhoidal thrombosis also known as hemorrhoidal crisis is among the most painful forms of hemorrhoids.
Internal hemorrhoidal thrombosis remains inside the anal canal and appears as a painful bluish-red swelling that can last from a few days to a few weeks and sometimes ends with spontaneous bleeding.
In many cases it is necessary to make an incision under local anesthesia to evacuate the thrombus.
Thrombosis of external hemorrhoids is divided into two forms:
1. Simple external thrombosis or perianal hematoma that occurs after exertion or after a prolonged period of sitting. It manifests itself as a tense and painful bluish swelling localized on the anal margin. Medical therapy determines its recovery in a period of 2-3 weeks with a residual marisca. The incision and evacuation of the thrombus under local anesthesia determines an immediate benefit.
2. Perianal edema , on the other hand, is more voluminous and can consist of more thrombi, therefore healing is slower than that of perianal hematoma and the surgical incision does not bring immediate benefit to the patient.
