What are hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids is a disease that occurs as a result of swelling of the veins around the anus and in the rectum. Hemorrhoids are divided into internal and external. Those on the outside of the anus are called external hemorrhoids, and those on the inside are called internal hemorrhoids. External hemorrhoids are more common.
