What Is Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed veins in the lower rectum or anus that can cause pain, itching, discomfort, and bleeding during or after bowel movements. They commonly develop due to increased pressure in the rectal area, often linked to chronic constipation, straining, prolonged sitting, or pregnancy. Hemorrhoids can be internal or external and may worsen over time if not treated properly. While mild cases can be managed with lifestyle changes and medications, advanced cases may require procedural or surgical intervention. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment help relieve symptoms, reduce discomfort, and prevent recurrence, ensuring better daily comfort and improved bowel health.
