HEMORRHOIDS โจ โจ โจ
Hemorrhoids, also called piles, are swollen veins in the a**s and lower re**um. Hemorrhoids are similar to varicose veins. Hemorrhoids can develop inside the re**um, called internal hemorrhoids. They also can develop under the skin around the a**s, called external hemorrhoids.
โช๏ธSymptoms
Symptoms of hemorrhoids usually depend on the type of hemorrhoid.
โช๏ธInternal hemorrhoids
Internal hemorrhoids lie inside the re**um. You usually can't see or feel them, and they rarely cause discomfort. But straining or irritation when passing stool can cause:
Painless bleeding during bowel movements. You might notice small amounts of bright red blood on your toilet tissue or in the toilet.
A hemorrhoid to push through the a**l opening, called a pr*****ed or protruding hemorrhoid. This may result in pain and irritation.
External hemorrhoids
These are under the skin around the a**s. Symptoms might include:
Itching or irritation in the a**l region.
Pain or discomfort.
Swelling around the a**s.
Bleeding.
Thrombosed hemorrhoids
Blood can pool in an external hemorrhoid and form a clot, called a thrombus. A thrombosed hemorrhoid can result in:
Severe pain.
Swelling.
Inflammation.
A hard, discolored lump near the a**s.
When to see a doctor
If you have bleeding during bowel movements or you have hemorrhoids that don't improve after a week of home care, talk to your health care provider.
Don't assume re**al bleeding is due to hemorrhoids, especially if you have changes in bowel habits or if your stools change in color or consistency. Re**al bleeding can happen with other diseases, including colore**al cancer and a**l cancer.
Seek emergency care if you have large amounts of re**al bleeding, lightheadedness, dizziness or faintness.
โช๏ธCauses
The veins around the a**s tend to stretch under pressure and may bulge or swell. Hemorrhoids can develop from increased pressure in the lower re**um due to:
Straining during bowel movements.
Sitting for too long
