Hemorrhoids or (piles) as they are also referred to are bulging veins of the anus caused by increased pressure in the rectal veins.
Hemorrhoids can occur at any time.
Younger people, pregnant women and women who have had children being more likely to develop Hemorrhoid problems such as Bleeding Hemorrhoids and Bleeding External Hemorrhoids.
It is also a condition that can run in the family.
Symptoms can vary from mild to severe including Itching, difficulty in completing bowel movements, blood in the stools, (which should always be thoroughly investigated for other medical conditions) and maybe a soft lump felt at the anal opening.
People with Hemorrhoids usually describe them feeling like soft grapes.
All these symptoms can be very distressful to the sufferer.
Often people are too embarrassed to discuss the problem and continue to suffer in silence which long term only makes the situation worse.
Inevitably they need to see their doctor for treatment.
There are various treatments and procedures your doctor can recommend but more often than not preventive measures are generally advice on diet, and physical activity.
