Do haemorrhoids cause pain? Haemorrhoids can cause discomfort, itching, swelling, or pain, especially if they become inflamed or develop a clot (known as a thrombosed haemorrhoid). Internal haemorrhoids are often painless but may cause bleeding, while external haemorrhoids can be more uncomfortable. If pain is severe or persistent, medical evaluation is recommended.

What is the difference between haemorrhoids and anal fissures? Although both conditions affect the anal area and may cause bleeding, they are different: Haemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the rectum or anus that may cause bleeding, itching, or swelling. Anal fissures are small tears in the lining of the anus, often caused by passing hard stools. They usually cause sharp pain during or after bowel movements. A doctor can diagnose the condition and recommend the appropriate treatment.
