Hemorrhoids (HEM-uh-roids), also called piles, are swollen veins in your anus and lower rectum, similar to varicose veins. Hemorrhoids can develop inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids). Piles (Haemorrhoids) is an extraneous growth in the anal region, characterized by painless bleeding during or after bowel movement.
