Internal Hemorrhoids: First- to Fourth-DegreeA first-degree internal hemorrhoid bulges into the anal canal during
bowel movements. A second-degree internal hemorrhoid bulges from the anus during bowel
movements, then goes back inside by itself. A third-degree hemorrhoid bulges from the anus during bowel
movements and must be pushed back in with a finger. A fourth-degree hemorrhoid
protrudes from the anus all the time. ByHealthwise Staff
