Symptoms, remedies, treatments and care for Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lowest part of the rectum and anus. Swollen hemorrhoids are also called piles.

There are two types of hemorrhoids – internal and external. Internal hemorrhoids are far enough inside the rectum that patient don’t usually see or feel. They don't generally hurt because there are few pain-sensing nerves there. Bleeding may be the only sign of them. External hemorrhoids are under the skin around the anus, where there are many more pain-sensing nerves, so they tend to hurt as well as bleed.
