Bleeding Hemorrhoids Dangerous
January 30th, 2010 / Author: admin
How long can hemorrhoids bleed before it’s considered dangerous?
Mine has been bleeding for 2 weeks, but my doctor’s not surprised and not concerned at all.
For convenience in describing the severity of internal hemorrhoids, many physicians use a grading system:
1. First-degree hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids that bleed but do not prolapse.
2. Second-degree hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids that prolapse and retract on their own (with or without bleeding).
3. Third-degree hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids that prolapse but must be pushed back in by a finger.
4. Fourth-degree hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids that prolapse and cannot be pushed back in. Fourth-degree hemorrhoids also include hemorrhoids that are thrombosed (containing blood clots) or that pull much of the lining of the rectum through the anus.

Maybe your doctor know you are in the first degree hemorrhoids. So don’t worry much about it
