A skin tag remains after healing of external haemorrhoids. It also causes irritation and itching around the anus. These are covered proximally by anoderm and distally by skin.
Internal haemorrhoids are often painless with bright red rectal bleeding while defaecating. They are painful only if thrombosed or necrosed. If prolapsed produces itching and feacal incontinence. These are graded as
· Grade I: No prolapse, just prominent blood vessels
· Grade II: Prolapse upon bearing down, but spontaneous reduction
· Grade III: Prolapse upon bearing down requiring manual reduction

Anal canal is composed of haemorrhoidal plexus which supports in defaecation and anal closure on rest. When there is increased abdominal pressure the vascular structures engorge so as it slide downwards. Recurrent compression produces finger like projections protruding outwards while defaecation. External haemorrhoids are formed from inferior plexus and Internal heamorrhoids are formed from superior plexus.
