Hemorrhoids are swollen veins with a bright red, purple, or blue appearance, but can sometimes can look a little fleshy. The swollen veins will also be warm to touch and can sometimes stick outside of the anus, which is also known as an external hemorrhoid. However, internal hemorrhoids do occur.

If you do have them don't panic because there are several alternative medicines out there that will help clear up this condition quickly, which I will now begin explaining to you.
