Thrombosis: Hemorrhoids are blood vessels and like other veins can sometimes form clots. An external hemorrhoid that doesn't go away or keeps coming back painfully may have a clot. Best to get it checked by your doctor. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Surgical treatment: An external hemorrhoid that hurts or persists is due to a blood clot in it. I would recommend seeing a surgeon and having it drained. If it persists despite that then surgical excision is the best next thing. Also it is important to avoid new ones by changing habits. www.drlugo.com

Why would hemorrhoids suddenly flare up for no reason after not being inflamed for decades? I haven't strained or done anything to aggravate them.

Loose watery stool 3-5 times a day or more. Looks like rotten wood mixed with raw egg white and small amounts of blood...I'm on blood thinners and have internal hemorrhoid so that could be the reason for blood. Been going on for 6 weeks almost daily?
