What are hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are a natural part of the human body and, when healthy, assist with the closure of the anus.

Hemorrhoids are vascular cushions that move blood to and from the anus and help support the function of the sphincter. Most people think of hemorrhoids as the disorder known as hemorrhoids or piles.

Hemorrhoids as a disorder are swollen veins or blood vessels in and around your lower rectum and anus, similar to varicose veins. These swollen vessels cause irregular protrusions, which can cause pain and bleeding. They are very common for both males and females and will occur in approximately half of the population by age 50.

Hemorrhoids can be both internal and external. Internal hemorrhoids either do not protrude out of the anus or return inside either on their own or by manual manipulation. They are often painless but tend to cause bleeding. External hemorrhoids are located outside of the anus and can often feel like small lumps. They tend to cause discomfort, itching and difficulty sitting.
