Haemorrhoids

Haemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus. They can cause itching, pain, and bleeding during bowel movements. They usually develop slowly over time and can range from small, swollen veins to large, painful lumps. Symptoms can include itching, burning, bleeding, and discomfort when sitting. In more severe cases, a blood clot can form, causing an even more painful lump. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, topical creams, and, in more severe cases, surgery.
