Vein Disease

ABOUT

HEMORRHOIDAL DISEASE1

Hemorrhoidal disease is a condition in which the increased pressure in the veins weaken the muscles and connective tissues in the hemorrhoids which cause them to distend.

Swollen and inflamed veins around the anus or lower rectum often a result of straining to have a bowel movement. Other factors include pregnancy, aging, and chronic constipation.
