Hemorrhoid Thrombosis: What It Is and How to Treat It

Thrombosed hemorrhoids are painful but typically harmless.

Symptoms of Thrombosis

  • Sudden, intense swelling
  • Sharp pain while sitting
  • Dark bluish lump near the anus

Non-Invasive Management

  • Rest
  • Warm sitz baths
  • Pain relievers and topical ointments

When Surgery Is Needed

If pain persists or recurrent thrombosis occurs, a small incision or full surgical removal may be recommended.
