Do you want to know how hemorrhoids are?
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lowest part of your rectum and anus. They can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus).
Common symptoms include:
- Bleeding during bowel movements
- Itching or irritation in the anal area
- Pain or discomfort, especially when sitting
- Swelling around the anus
- A lump near the anus, which may be sensitive or painful
They are often caused by:
- Straining during bowel movements
- Sitting for long periods on the toilet
- Chronic constipation or diarrhea
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Age (they become more common as people get older)
- Obesity
- Heavy lifting
Most hemorrhoids can be treated with over-the-counter medications, sitz baths, and lifestyle changes like increasing fiber intake and staying hydrated. However, severe cases may require medical procedures to remove them. If you experience persistent bleeding or severe pain, you should consult a healthcare provider.
