What Are Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins located in the lower rectum and anus. Similar to varicose veins, they develop when excessive pressure causes the veins to enlarge and become inflamed.

Hemorrhoids are generally classified into two categories:

Internal Hemorrhoids

These occur inside the rectum and may cause painless bleeding during bowel movements.

External Hemorrhoids

These develop under the skin around the anus and may lead to pain, swelling, irritation, and discomfort.

Although hemorrhoids are common, professional evaluation is important to rule out other colorectal conditions and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

Common Causes of Hemorrhoids

Several factors contribute to the development of hemorrhoids.

Chronic Constipation

Frequent straining during bowel movements increases pressure on rectal veins.

Prolonged Sitting

Sitting for long periods, especially on the toilet, can contribute to hemorrhoid formation.

Pregnancy

Increased abdominal pressure during pregnancy often leads to hemorrhoids.
