There is a structure in the anal canal that controls stool control, and that structure is called a hemorrhoid. These hemorrhoids can be internal or external, and although are not necessarily painful, they can cause medical problems when they become inflamed. When the hemorrhoid become irritated it will generally be painful and can bleed.

Hemorrhoids can become painful when they begin itching, and swelling, or are otherwise irritated. Thrombosis is usually a condition that is associated with hemorrhoids when blood clots develop from a ruptured vein.

Thrombosed external hemorrhoid can be caused by something as simple as sitting too long in one position not allowing the blood to circulate. The condition may not be serious but to relieve the pain, medical help is needed.

There is no particular age when thrombosed external hemorrhoids happen although, young adults and pregnant women are frequent sufferers of the condition. These thrombosed external hemorrhoids most often come with itching, swelling, burning sensation, and inflammation. They may develop a deep red or black and blue color caused by the blood clot. It can eventually become infected and bleed and sometimes gangrene can set in, if the thrombosed external hemorrhoids are not taken care of immediately.

In order to prevent the occurrence of thrombosed external hemorrhoids you should eat a healthy diet, take in fluids regularly, and take part in an exercise regimen that is not strenuous. Using over the counter hemorrhoid creams may help the itching for the moment, but it is not a cure for the thrombosed external hemorrhoids. They will not help if there is severe pain. Over the counter drugs such as Motrin, Tylenol, and Aleve will help to reduce the swelling and pain associated with thrombosed external hemorrhoids somewhat.
