Hemorrhoids vs. Anal Fissure Comparison
| Symptom Group | Hemorrhoids (Piles) | Anal Fissure |
|---|---|---|
| General Area | N/A | Localized at the anal opening (a tear in the lining of the anus). |
| Bleeding | Bright red blood, often painless, seen dripping into the toilet or on toilet paper. | Bright red blood, usually a smaller amount, often seen streaking the stool or toilet paper. |
| Lump/Swelling | Soft, tender, grape-like lumps that may protrude from the anus (in the case of external or prolapsed hemorrhoids). | A small skin tag (sentinel pile) may develop near the tear, but not a soft lump like a hemorrhoid. |
| Sensation of Pain | Pain is often constant, often worse when sitting. | Pain is intense during passage, but can persist for several hours after a bowel movement due to muscle spasm. |
