Hemorrhoids are swollen enlarged veins in the lowest part of the anus. The veins get irritated and bulge, especially when the patient going to the toilet and cause bleeding. They can also be called piles.
Hemorrhoids is one of the most common causes of rectal bleeding. Hemorrhoids or piles often occur in adults and they can cause significant pain and discomfort, especially if they are left untreated.
Anal fissures are also common when talking about rectal bleeding. This is often the result when you are suffering from constipation and pushing too hard when going to the toilet.
There are two types of hemorrhoids:
- External hemorrhoids, these under the skin surrounding the anus. They also can bulge out from the anus.
- Internal hemorrhoids are again deep inside the rectum. In most cases, they can’t be seen, and they are likely to not be painful too.
Below is now a selection of the best home treatments for hemorrhoids. In the explanation, you can find if the treatment is better for internal, external, or fissures. Also, for what stage of hemorrhoids they are meant to be used for, or how severe your hemorrhoids are.
