What is Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids, or piles, are swollen blood vessels in the rectal area that can cause discomfort and pain. They happen when the blood vessels around the anus and rectum become stretched or swollen. Hemorrhoids can occur due to stress during bowel movements, sitting for long periods, or increased pressure in the rectal area. When these blood vessels become swollen, they can be quite bothersome, leading to itching, burning, and pain. Imagine having a small balloon filled with blood near your bottom, causing discomfort and making it difficult to sit or go about your day comfortably.
