What Are Hemorrhoids?

Swollen Veins in the Rectum or Anus That Can Cause Discomfort, Bleeding, or Itching

Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the lower rectum or anus. They can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus). While not dangerous on their own, they can be extremely uncomfortable and may sometimes require medical treatment if they bleed, protrude, or develop clots.

What Causes Heartburn and Reflux?

Common risk factors include:

  • Straining during bowel movements
  • Chronic constipation or diarrhea
  • Sitting for long periods of time
  • Pregnancy
  • Obesity
  • Low-fiber diets
  • Heavy lifting
  • Aging and weakening of rectal tissues
Diagnostic Tools & Procedures

Quick, Accurate Testing for Fast and Effective Relief

Visual & Physical Exam
A careful evaluation of external and prolapsed hemorrhoids during a clinical exam, often enough to confirm diagnosis.

Anoscopy
A short, tube-like instrument is used to examine internal hemorrhoids and rule out other rectal conditions.

Colonoscopy (if needed)
Recommended if there's rectal bleeding or if you're over 45 and haven't had a colon cancer screening. Helps rule out other causes of bleeding, like polyps or tumors.

About Hemorrhoids

Frequently Asked Questions

Hemorrhoids are not life-threatening, but they can cause chronic pain, bleeding, or infection if untreated. They can also mask symptoms of more serious conditions.
Bleeding and discomfort may mimic other rectal conditions. A GI evaluation is the best way to confirm diagnosis and rule out colorectal cancer or anal fissures.
Banding cuts off blood flow to internal hemorrhoids using a small rubber band, causing them to shrink and fall off naturally—typically with no pain or downtime.
Mild hemorrhoids may respond to fiber supplements, topical creams, or sitz baths. But if symptoms persist, worsen, or include bleeding, a GI visit is recommended.

Stay hydrated, eat a high-fiber diet, avoid straining, and don't sit too long—especially on the toilet. We'll provide tips based on your individual symptoms.
