Hemorrhoid
Hemorrhoid, also known as plies, refers to the swollen and enlarged veins around the lower rectum and anus. They are much similar to the varicose veins and comprise two categories. They include those which develop within the rectum, internal hemorrhoids, and those that occur beneath the skin on the anus, external hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids are common and affect one out of four individuals from time to time. They are generally painful and cause extreme discomfort. However, they are treatable and easily manageable. Since hemorrhoids tend to worsen with time, medical providers recommend seeking immediate treatment as soon as they occur. Apart from avoiding aggravation, this also helps prevent additional complications and other health problems.
