1) Thrombosed external hemorrhoid is a painful swelling at the anal opening caused by a blood clot forming in an external hemorrhoid. 2) It is usually caused by factors that increase pressure in the abdomen like pregnancy, constipation from poor diet or lack of exercise, or prolonged sitting or standing. 3) Symptoms include a bluish swollen lump near the anus that is painful. Seeking treatment is important to address pain and rule out other potential issues. Maintaining a high fiber diet and drinking plenty of water can help prevent hemorrhoids.

Perianal Thrombosis – Thrombosed External Hemorrhoid
One in two adults older than

thrombosed external
hemorrhoid.
Nevertheless, this subject is
unknown, even taboo. Let us
take a closer look.

What Is Thrombosed External Hemorrhoid?
In a corridor between the veins
and arteries, in the anal tract,
are located hemorrhoids,
everyone has them.
When an abnormal and
permanent enlargement of the
veins in this zone occurs, it
leads to a pathological state of
the hemorrhoids, namely piles.

What Is Thrombosed External Hemorrhoid?
Normally, they do not last unless a
thrombosis formation (= clot) in the vein
which then creates a painful bluish
swelling ranging from a small pea size to a
golf ball size in very extreme cases, occurs.
This is a peri-anal accumulation of
blood with swelling, but without blood
loss.
According to the American Society of Colon & Rectal Surgeons,
thrombosed external hemorrhoid is characterized by a painful
swelling at the anal opening that occurs suddenly.

Causes of Thrombosed External Hemorrhoid
It usually has something to do with internal hemorrhoids
although there could possibly be other causes:
• An increase in pressure in the abdomen that
prevents the blood stream to run, pregnancy
and childbirth are good examples
• Bowel problems, particularly constipation
• Laxative abuse: some laxatives and
suppositories and enemas mainly used for
constipation or diarrhea
• Little to no mobility: mainly standing for too
long or prolonged sitting

Causes of Thrombosed External Hemorrhoid
• Some food and especially spices, alcohol, coffee, tea etc… and a
diet with too little fiber
• Too heavy or repeated physical exertion can cause piles (horse
riding, cycling …..)
• Dehydration (dehydration)
• Decreased elasticity of the skin around the hemorrhoids area
• Diseases of the digestive system or the liver may involve a
downstream blood flow
In general, any excessive pressure, exerted on
the haemorrhoids, a congestion (blood
retention) can bring external hemorrhoids about.

In conclusion
In general, benign external hemorrhoids,
are usually caused by constipation.
Besides a very painful thrombosis, there
are rarely complications.
It is also certainly not a disease about
which you should be ashamed.
Do not hesitate to talk about a thrombosed external hemorrhoid
and to consult a specialist if the symptoms persist so as to
eliminate other more serious diseases.
