Let’s dive into the causes, symptoms, and the available treatment options for hemorrhoids to encourage individuals to prioritize their health.
What Are Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus. They can be classified into two types:
- Internal Hemorrhoids: Located inside the rectum, often painless but may cause bleeding.

Hemorrhoids can be triggered by factors such as:
- Straining during bowel movements
- Prolonged sitting (especially on the toilet)
- Chronic constipation or diarrhoea
- Pregnancy due to increased abdominal pressure
- Poor diet, especially low fibre intake
- Obesity and lack of physical activity
