What are Haemorrhoids?

Let’s begin with the basics: what are hemorrhoids?  Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen veins in the lower rectum or anus, similar to varicose veins. They can be internal hemorrhoids (located inside the rectum) or external hemorrhoids (under the skin around the anus). Both types can cause discomfort, bleeding, and irritation.If you’re wondering about hemorrhoids meaning, they refer to the vascular cushions in the anal canal that become inflamed or enlarged due to increased pressure.

Hemorrhoids Symptoms

Many patients suffer silently without realizing they have hemorrhoids. Common hemorrhoids symptoms include:
  • Pain or discomfort during bowel movements
  • Bright red bleeding on toilet paper or in the stool
  • Itching or irritation in the anal region
  • Swelling or a lump near the anus (especially with external hemorrhoids)
  • Mucus discharge or feeling of incomplete emptying
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to see a hemorrhoids doctor.

What Causes Hemorrhoids?

Several factors can contribute to hemorrhoids. The most common hemorrhoids causes include:

  • Chronic constipation or straining
  • Prolonged sitting, especially on the toilet
  • A low-fiber diet
  • Heavy lifting
  • Hemorrhoids during pregnancy, due to increased pressure on the rectal veins
  • Aging and weakened supporting tissues
  • Obesity and sedentary lifestyle

At Arwa & Ali Medical Center, our specialists identify the root cause before creating a personalized treatment plan.
