Yes, it is: Hemorrhoids are the most common disease of humans. There are 3 main veins that swell - however, there may be more. They are not dangerous, but they do cause bleeding and pain. Treatment is warm baths with epsom salts and soothing ointments like a;d or anusol. Do see a doctor. They usually and be rubber ligated or coagulated in the office. However, an operation is sometimes needed. Peter wilk, md.
