How To Treat Hemorrhoids (Piles) At Home?

Hemorrhoids are dilated or swollen veins under the rectum around the anal opening. They can be classified into internal and external hemorrhoids.

There is a dental line in the anal canal, which separates two types of the anal skin. While the skin above the dentate line is not sensitive to pain, the skin below this line is quite sensitive to pain.

Internal hemorrhoids occur above the dentate line and are, therefore usually painless. They can cause bleeding or they may push out of the anal opening when they become quite large.

External hemorrhoids occur below the dentate line and are generally painful. External hemorrhoids can become very distressing when the blood in the hemorrhoids clots and inflammation irritates the nearby pain-sensitive skin.
