Hemorrhoids - hemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed veins in your anus and rectum. They may result from straining when having a bowel movement or the increased pressure on these veins during pregnancy. By age 50, about half of adults deal with the itching, bleeding and pain that often signal the presence of this condition.
Fortunately, effective medications and procedures are readily available to treat hemorrhoids. In many cases this condition may require only self-care and lifestyle changes.
