A Hemorrhoid that hangs out of the anus is normally called a prolapsed hemorrhoid. The hemorrhoid is usually a soft mass of tissue that is pinkish or red in color. Prolapsed hemorrhoids will protrude when a bowel movement is performed but normally will retract back into the anus on there own. Usually there is no pain associated with a prolapsed hemorrhoid and will most often be undetected.

The most serious of all hemorrhoid cases are a thrombosed prolapsed hemorrhoid. Thrombosed hemorrhoids will create severe pain and will not retract back into the anus. Even if an attempt is made to manually replace the hemorrhoid, it will fall back out on it’s own. The problem with thrombosed prolapsed hemorrhoids is that there is a large chance of infection setting in.

Prolapsed hemorrhoids will most always result in itching or burning sensations, and may leak blood.
