Overview
Anoscopy is mandatory to visualize internal hemorrhoids, as they are not visible on inspection of the anal verge or palpable on performing digital rectal exam.
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Internal hemorrhoids can be viewed only using the anoscope or the flexible sigmoidoscope.
- Hemorrhoids appear as bulging bluish masses above the dentate line.
- If there are accompanying constitutional symptoms (e.g. weight loss), colonoscopy should be done to exclude colon cancer.
