Hemorrhoids result from increased pressure on the lower rectum and anus. The increased pressure within the hemorrhoidal veins causes them to swell.
Symptoms you may notice include painless bleeding during bowel movements, rectal/anal pain, anal itching, and/or tender lumps near the anus.You have a wide array of options when it comes to treating hemorrhoids and hemorrhoid pain both at home and via your physician.
