When Is Hemorrhoid Surgery Needed?

Hemorrhoid is the unusual swelling of the veins located in the anal canal, resulting in pain and discomfort in the area. Hemorrhoids can happen inside the anal canal (internal hemorrhoid) or near the opening of the anus (external hemorrhoid). This unusually large expansion of veins in the pelvic and rectal regions results from accelerated blood pressure. This pressure causes the blood to pool up in the veins, which stretches the surrounding tissue to create space for itself.
Conditions in which blood pressure in the pelvic and rectal area can accelerate are:
Strain exerted during a bowel movement as a result of constipation or continual diarrhea.
Obesity increases pressure across the body, including the sensitive pelvic and rectal regions.
Pregnancy increases secretion of hormones and relaxation of tissues
