Extended and swollen veins in the back of the intestine and rectum are called hemorrhoids.
They are located under the mucous of the end of the colon. These are small projections lumps and can be internal and external.
In both cases, the most common symptoms are:
- itching and burning sensation in the rectal area
- pain in the rectal area
- flow of mucus
- bleeding hemorrhoids
What are the causes of hemorrhoids?
Strong or too much pressure on the blood vessels in the pelvic and rectal region leads to swelling and stretching the vein which is the main prerequisite for the formation of hemorrhoids.
