Tissue may come out during bowel movements and return by itself, require manual reduction, or remain outside.

A sudden, very tender lump with significant pain may fit a thrombosed external hemorrhoid pattern.

Swelling, external tissue, hygiene difficulty or a combination of internal and external symptoms can occur.
