What is a hemorrhoid?

Hemorrhoid, also known as piles, are engorged, swollen veins in your lower rectum and perianal area. It is often accompanied by itching, pain, discomfort when you sit, and sometimes, bleeding.

Hemorrhoids occur mostly in adults. They have different causes. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases states that, approximately half of the population will develop hemorrhoids, by the age of 50.
