Hemorrhoids Support Group
Hemorrhoids are the swelling and inflammation of veins in the rectum and anus. Two of the most common types of hemorrhoids are external and internal hemorrhoids. External hemorrhoids are those that occur outside of the anal verge (the distal end of the anal canal). They are sometimes painful, and can be accompanied by swelling and irritation.

I deal with hemorrhoids a lot. They are swollen veins in the rectum. They can be internal or external. Constipation or straining causes them. I can go weeks without a problem and then have one for days. Need to eat fiber and plenty of water. Also don't sit too long on toilet. Having fissures is similar to hemorrhoids too. I get worried when they bleed. So afraid it's something else. So I'm constantly trying to treat them.
