Background about the disease

So, what exactly are hemorrhoids? Well, they're swollen blood vessels that can occur in the lower part of the rectum or the anus. They can be internal, meaning they're inside the anal canal, or external, which means they're under the skin around the anus. Hemorrhoids can develop when there is increased pressure on the veins in the rectal area, causing them to swell and become irritated.

Causes

There are several factors that can contribute to the development of hemorrhoids. One common cause is straining during bowel movements, which can put pressure on the veins in the rectum. Other factors include sitting for long periods, obesity, pregnancy, and a sedentary lifestyle. Understanding these causes can help in preventing future occurrences and managing the condition effectively.

Symptoms

The most common symptoms of hemorrhoids include swelling, itching, pain, and discomfort in the anal area. You may also experience rectal bleeding, especially during bowel movements. In some cases, hemorrhoids may protrude from the anus, causing additional narrowing and discomfort. These symptoms can vary in severity and can significantly impact your quality of life.
