There are two types of hemorrhoids - internal and external.
Internal hemorrhoids occur inside the anus. The swollen blood vessels remain inside your anus and do not usually cause pain. The size of internal hemorrhoids are classified using a grading system from 1 to 4.
Grade 1- hemorrhoids are often small swellings inside the lining of your anus. They cannot be seen and are very common. In some cases they will enlarge to grade 2 hemorrhoids.
Grade 2- hemorrhoids are larger in size but are still within your anus. In some instances they become pushed out when you pass a stool, but will return inside immediately after.
Grade 3- hemorrhoids appear outside your anus. These are also referred to as prolapsed hemorrhoids. Grade 3 hemorrhoids protrude outside your anus and often decrease in size naturally. In most cases these hemorrhoids can be pushed back inside the anus with your fingers.
Grade 4- hemorrhoids remain outside your anus permanently. They cannot be pushed back inside and will need to be treated by your doctor.

External hemorrhoids occur outside your anus. They are also known as perianal hematoma.

You may feel a small lump outside your anus that becomes increasingly itchy. This type of haemorrhoid is less common and will require immediate treatment.

It is possible to have both internal and external hemorrhoids at the same time, but this is rare.

In most cases the symptoms go away in a few days if you adjust your diet properly.

They can probably last for a lifetime if you do nothing about it.

She may have some viral bug - if that's the case it'll need to take it's course, but if she goes to the doctor she could get it treated properly and get antibiotics to keep her immune system in check. Keep her very hydrated and make sure she doesn't eat any foods that would irritate a stomach.

She may have the stomach flu. To help she needs to drink lots of fluids. A sports drink like Gatorade will help with electrolyte replacement. Also sticking to a BRAT diet will help. Brat stands for
B-Bananas
R-Rice
A-Applesauce
T-Toast
How ever if this lasts for more than a couple more days, she needs to see her doctor.

I am a RN, BSN
