Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen veins in the lower rectum or anus, similar to varicose veins. They can cause discomfort, itching, pain, and sometimes bleeding, especially during bowel movements.

Types:

1. Internal Hemorrhoids: Found inside the rectum. They usually aren’t visible and may cause painless bleeding.
2. External Hemorrhoids: Located under the skin around the anus. They can be painful and itchy, especially if a blood clot forms (thrombosed hemorrhoids).

Homeopathic treatment for piles or hemorrhoids focuses on individual symptoms and the patient’s constitution.
