Hemorrhoids or Something Else? Conditions That Can Be Mistaken for Hemorrhoids

At LaproPod, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of colorectal issues, ensuring you receive the care you need. Let’s explore some conditions that are often confused with hemorrhoids.
What Conditions Can Be Mistaken for Hemorrhoids?
Colon Polyps
Colon polyps are growths in the lining of the colon or rectum that can cause rectal bleeding, much like hemorrhoids.
Abnormal Blood Vessels in the Colon (Angiodysplasia)
Sometimes, blood vessels in the colon can become abnormal, causing bleeding.
Diverticulosis
Diverticulosis occurs when small pouches form in the colon wall, which can lead to bleeding and mimic hemorrhoid symptoms.
Colorectal Cancer
One of the most serious conditions that can mimic hemorrhoid symptoms is colorectal cancer.
Infections
Certain infections in the rectal area can cause swelling, irritation, and bleeding, similar to hemorrhoids.
Abscesses
An anal abscess occurs when a pocket of pus forms in the anal or rectal area, causing severe pain and discomfort.
Anal Fissures
An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, often caused by passing hard stools.
