When people wonder what hemorrhoids look like, they normally mean the visual as well as physical symptoms of hemorrhoids.
To have this question usually means that they are suspecting they might have hemorrhoids or that they are having discomfort in the rectal or anal area.
It would be helpful to list the symptoms of hemorrhoids so that you can decide what you should do with the situation.
  The symptoms of hemorrhoids can be divided into visual as well as physical ones.
The visual symptoms will help you answer the question of "what do hemorrhoids look like" exactly.
The physical ones will help you find out what hemorrhoids feel like.
  Visual Symptoms Prolapsed internal hemorrhoids and external hemorrhoids can be seen with eyes and felt with hands (use a mirror if you want to see what you have with your own eyes).
People like to draw an analogy between hemorrhoids and grapes.
The classic appearance of a prolapsed hemorrhoid is like a tinny grape.
The number and size may vary from one person to another.
External hemorrhoids often look like a bump on the skin outside the anus.
  Another visual factor of hemorrhoids is color.
Prolapsed hemorrhoids are reddish pink in color.
The external hemorrhoids look brownish.
  Internal hemorrhoids cannot be seen from outside unless they become prolapsed.
But they are small bumps on the wall of the rectum.
  Physical Symptoms Bleeding after bowel movement is a common physical symptom of hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids can also cause itch, pains, burning feeling around the opening of the anus.
They also give people a feeling as if they haven't finished the bowel movement yet and want to go the bathroom again.
  If you have one of these symptoms, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are having hemorrhoids.
However, in order to treat it as early and effectively as possible, it is recommended to go to a doctor for a thorough examination.
