2. Pain
If you are experiencing pain in the anal area, it could be a sign that you have hemorrhoids. There are several reasons why hemorrhoids can cause pain. One reason is that they can become enlarged and filled with blood. This can cause them to stretch and become painful. Another reason is that they may become inflamed, which can also be painful. Hemorrhoids can also cause pain if they are located near the opening of the anus. This is because the tissues around the anus are sensitive and can be easily irritated.
