Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are veins in the rectum and anus that swell and protrude from the anus. These veins become enlarged by sitting or standing for long periods of time, lifting heavy objects, constipation, pregnancy, obesity, lack of exercise, food allergies, and liver damage. As a result the veins lose their elasticity and become sac-like protrusions. Symptoms of this problem include inflammation, itching, burning, pain, and bleeding. Dietary and nutritional habits play a major role in the formation of hemorrhoids. The majority of Americans will suffer from hemorrhoids at one time or another, although many may not be aware of it. The chances of getting hemorrhoids increase with age; the condition may also be hereditary.
