Hemorrhoids
A hemorrhoid is a group of dilated, or swollen blood vessels that is in the anal canal and the lower rectum. Enlargement of the hemorrhoid vessel is usually caused by our natural body posture, standing straight, pregnancy, and heredity. There are two types of hemorrhoids; internal and external. Discomfort begins to ease in 2-3 days and is gone in about one week.
