Hemorrhoids: Are healing structure of the anus, that has to stretch and collapse every time you have a bowel movement. The rich networks of blood vessels that bring good healing blood to the area, to heal fast if you get a little cut, loose when they sag and cause hemorrhoids. They feel like bumps when they bulge and then scar to become tags. Keep bowel regular, exercise drinkwater. Eat green veg and fiber.

Pain: External hemorrhoids are painful. These are hemorrhoids near nerves and you'll know you have them from pain and irritation. Painless hemorrhoids are usually internal but may prolapse and you notice them when cleaning. Either one can affect your life. If so see your doctor for a referral to a colo-rectal surgeon. Improve your quality of life.
