Itching, pain, more: Hemorrhoids are like varicose veins of the rectum. They can swell and bulge, and - when irritated by the passage of stool - bleed. People with hemorrhoids are often a bit constipated, some or all of the time. Hemorrhoids can itch as they heal, and when they bleed, they result in everything from dots of bright red blood on the toilet paper after wiping. Get an exam, and don't ignore rectal bleeding.
