Different types of hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids differ in their type and signs. If your hemorrhoids are located within the tissues that line your lower rectum and anus there is an internal hemorrhoid. This type of hemorrhoid can cause no symptoms. They’re typically non-invasive. However, in some instances they may cause bleeding following an intestinal movement.
