Understanding Hemorrhoids: Causes and Types

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum or anus, which can be internal or external:

Internal Hemorrhoids: Located inside the rectum, usually painless but can cause bleeding.

External Hemorrhoids: Located under the skin around the anus, often painful and can bleed or become thrombosed.

Thrombosed Hemorrhoids: When a blood clot forms inside a hemorrhoid, causing severe pain and swelling.

Hemorrhoids can affect anyone, but certain factors increase the risk:

• Chronic constipation or diarrhea
• Straining during bowel movements
• Sitting for long periods, especially on the toilet
• Pregnancy
