Dr. Thierry Yazbek Surgery
hemorrhoids —Swollen veins — can develop from an increase in pressure in the lower rectum. you have the external and internal hemorrhoids
External hemorrhoids, when thrombosed, may be very painful.it resolves in 2 - 3 days. A skin tag may remain after healing producing irritation of the surrounding skin and thus itchiness around the anus.
Internal hemorrhoids usually present with painless, bright red, rectal bleeding during or following a bowel movement. The blood typically covers the stool, is on the toilet paper, or drips into the toilet bowl. The stool itself is usually normally coloured. Other symptoms may include mucous discharge, a perianal mass if they prolapse through the anus, itchiness, and fecal incontinence.
causes:
Straining during bowel movements
Sitting for long periods of time on the toilet
Chronic diarrhea or constipation
Obesity
Pregnancy
Anal trauma
Hemorrhoids are more likely as you get older because the tissues that support the veins in your rectum and anus can weaken and stretch with aging.

Treatment:
Conservative treatment typically consists of nutrition rich in dietary fiber, uptake of oral fluids to maintain hydration, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, sitz baths, and rest.
Rubber band ligation or surgical excision

but in your case you can try the conservative treatment and schedule an appointment with a specialist
