Hemorrhoids can be classified into external hemorrhoids, internal hemorrhoids, and mixed hemorrhoids. Symptoms vary depending on the type: external hemorrhoids primarily cause anal heaviness and pain; internal hemorrhoids are characterized mainly by prolapse of a mass from the anus; and mixed hemorrhoids exhibit features of both external and internal hemorrhoids. Additionally, patients may experience mucus discharge and constipation. Treatment strategies differ among hemorrhoid types, and accurate differentiation is essential.
