This is one of the most trivial ailments and widespread yet still ashamed of the fact of the part of the body to which it is attached.

What are these?

Hemorrhoids are varicose veins located around the anus and the vessels of the rectal wall.

It is a bulb-shaped dilation of the veins of the anal or rectal mucosa.

They are caused by pressure on the veins in the anal or rectal mucosa. This pressure can have different causes such as constipation, diarrhea, intense physical exertion, childbirth but also a sudden increase in blood flow. The veins of the anus are connected to the vessels of the digestive tract the flow of which increases sharply after a large meal, abuse of alcohol or spices.

Uncomfortable, but yet?

Inconveniences, simple irritation or pain are the first symptoms of hemorrhoids.

Itching and burning occur only in the case of external hemorrhoids.

Internal hemorrhoids are often manifested by relatively low bleeding.

No shame to consult...

You lost a little blood in your stool, it itches or bothers you. It has already happened to you but it was calmed after a few days.

So why consulting? And how to talk about it?

First, there is no shame in this. You do not have to talk to those around you but your doctor, yes. Firstly, because nobody has ever seen a doctor laughing when a patient asked about his hemorrhoids. Because this is an extremely trivial disease that can be relieved easily and it would be a shame to suffer for years. And especially, because there is a risk, small but existing, that these blood loss has another more serious cause.

Do not wait.
