Dilated veins: Located in the rectum. They begin when constipation causes high pressures to build up. The normal veins in the area get blocked from the pressure and stretch. They may become inflamed from a clot or they may never bother you. Best care will be stool softeners and a good bowel habit. Better still is to perform this before they ever form.
