SEVERITY & DIAGNOSIS

Q: WHAT ARE THE FOUR STAGES OF HEMORRHOIDS?

Hemorrhoids are typically classified into four stages, ranging from mild to severe. Understanding the severity of your hemorrhoids can help guide your treatment options.

Stage 1

✔ Internal hemorrhoids that may cause bleeding but do not prolapse (fall out of the anus).
✔ Symptoms are usually mild, such as itching or minor discomfort.

Stage 2

✔ Hemorrhoids prolapse during bowel movements but retract on their own.
✔ You may experience pain, itching, and bleeding.

Stage 3

✔ Hemorrhoids prolapse and require manual retraction (pushing them back in).
✔ Symptoms are more persistent and uncomfortable.

Stage 4

✔ Hemorrhoids remain prolapsed and cannot be pushed back in.
✔ Significant pain and discomfort are common.
✔ Medical intervention is usually needed at this stage.

We recommend combining Hem Hero® Extra Strength, Hem Rescue®, and Easy Flow Fiber® for maximum relief for severe cases.
