A thrombosed external hemorrhoid is a painful swelling in the anal tissues caused by a clot (or “thrombus”) in one or more of the small veins in the anal skin. This may occur in conjunction with prolonged sitting or constipation, but can also occur spontaneously for no apparent reason.
Thrombosed hemorrhoids happen when a blood clot forms inside a hemorrhoid. The blood clot blocks blood flow, causing painful symptoms. Most thrombosed hemorrhoids are external, but they can also be internal. External hemorrhoids form in the tissue outside the anus, while internal hemorrhoids are inside.
Hemorrhoids can be on the inside of the anal passage or form on the outside of the anus. Hemorrhoids on the inside are called internal hemorrhoids, and those on the outside are called external hemorrhoids. Thrombosed hemorrhoids occur when either an internal or external hemorrhoid fills with blood clots.
Almost all thrombosed hemorrhoids are external, but thrombosis of internal hemorrhoids is also possible.

The main treatment for a thrombosed hemorrhoid is a procedure, called an external thrombectomy, that makes a small cut in the clot and drains it. You will get local anesthesia to prevent you from feeling pain. This procedure works best if you have it within three days after the hemorrhoid appears.
A thrombosed hemorrhoid will appear as a lump at the anal verge, protruding from the anus, and will be dark bluish in color because of the blood clot contained inside the swollen blood vessel. Non-thrombosed hemorrhoids will appear as a rubbery lump. Often more than one swollen hemorrhoid appears at the same time.
Anorectal emergencies include acutely thrombosed external hemorrhoid, complicated internal hemorrhoid, anal fissure, anorectal sepsis, irreducible rectal prolapse, sexually transmitted proctitis and obstructing rectal cancer.
Hemorrhoids can be classified according to how severe they are: Grade 1: Slightly enlarged hemorrhoids that can't be seen from outside the anus. Grade 2: Larger hemorrhoids that sometimes come out of the anus, for example while passing stool or – less commonly – during other physical activities.
External haemorrhoids, as well as prolapsed haemorrhoids and thrombosed external haemorrhoids, can feel to the sufferer like a pimple or spot, and many people try popping them in a similar fashion. It is possible to pop a haemorrhoid, and it can help release a build-up of blood. It may not be the best idea, however.
If a blood clot forms inside the hemorrhoids, it can become thrombosed and eventually burst, once the internal pressure increases (during the excessive straining from either constipation or diarrhea).
