○ External hemorrhoids are those that occur outside the
anal verge (the distal end of the anal canal). Specifically
they are varicosities of the veins draining the territory
of the inferior rectal arteries, which are branches of the
pudendal artery. They are sometimes painful, and can
be accompanied by swelling and irritation. Itching,
although often thought to be a symptom of external
hemorrhoids, is more commonly due to skin irritation.
○ External hemorrhoids are prone to thrombosis: if the
vein ruptures and/or a blood clot develops, the
hemorrhoid becomes a thrombosed hemorrhoid.
