What Are Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in or around the anus and lower rectum. There are two types:

  • Internal Hemorrhoids: Found inside the anal canal. They often cause painless bleeding.
  • External Hemorrhoids: Found under the skin around the anus. These can hurt, itch, and sometimes bleed.

Why Do Hemorrhoids Happen?

Several factors can lead to hemorrhoids:

  • Straining during bowel movements (often due to constipation)
  • Sitting for long periods on the toilet
  • Pregnancy (due to increased pressure in the abdomen)
  • Obesity
  • Low-fiber diet
  • Aging (tissues naturally weaken over time)

In simple words, anything that puts extra pressure on the lower part of your body can cause these vessels to swell.

Common Symptoms

People with hemorrhoids may experience:

  • Bright red blood during bowel movements
  • Itching or irritation in the anal region
  • Pain or discomfort
  • Swelling around the anus
  • A lump near the anus, which may be sensitive or painful

When Should You See a Doctor?

Mild symptoms can sometimes improve with simple home remedies like increasing fiber diet, drinking more water, and avoiding straining.
But if you notice bleeding, persistent pain, or a lump that doesn't go away, it’s time to consult a specialist. Remember — not all bleeding is caused by hemorrhoids; sometimes, more serious conditions need to be ruled out.But if you notice bleeding, persistent pain, or a lump that doesn't go away, it’s time to consult a specialist.
