Haemorrhoids

HemorroidesHemorroides

In the area of the rectum and anus there are a series of veins and arteries that form a set with the tissue that covers them. In situations of effort, irritation, etc., this set can become inflamed and cause discomfort, but returns to its normal state once the stimulus ceases. If the inflammation is intense and persistent, the discomfort increases and the disease we know as hemorrhoids occurs.

Hemorrhoids are a very common disorder. Between 50 and 75% of the population may be affected by them at some point in their lives.
