Hemorrhoids (HEM-uh-roids), also called piles, are swollen veins in your anus and lower rectum, similar to varicose veins. Hemorrhoids can develop inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids).

Nearly three out of four adults will have hemorrhoids from time to time. Hemorrhoids have a number of causes, but often the cause is unknown.

External hemorrhoids

These are under the skin around your anus. Signs and symptoms might include:

• Itching or irritation in your anal region
• Pain or discomfort
• Swelling around your anus
• Bleeding

Internal hemorrhoids

Internal hemorrhoids lie inside the rectum. You usually can’t see or feel them, and they rarely cause discomfort. But straining or irritation when passing stool can cause:

• Painless bleeding during bowel movements. You might notice small amounts of bright red blood on your toilet tissue or in the toilet.
• A hemorrhoid to push through the anal opening (prolapsed or protruding hemorrhoid), resulting in pain and irritation.

What causes hemorrhoids?

The causes of hemorrhoids include

• • straining during bowel movements
  • sitting on the toilet for long periods of time
  • chronic constipation or diarrhea
  • a low-fiber diet
  • weakening of the supporting tissues in your anus and rectum that happens with aging
  • pregnancy
  • often lifting heavy objects

*The petrolatum used in our base is pharmaceutical (USP) grade, which means it goes through a purification process to remove impurities. Petrolatum is traditionally used in homeopathic topical applications because it creates a seal allowing the active homeopathic ingredients to be absorbed by the skin.
