Hemorrhoids are painful, itching, or bleeding masses of swollen tissues and varicose veins located in the rectum and anus.

Since the condition of hemorrhoids almost always tends to deteriorate over the years, safe, gentle and effective treatments for hemorrhoids are encouraged as soon as they appear.
Hemorrhoids bother about 89% of all Americans at some time in their lives. Hemorroids made Napoleon ride side-saddle, put star baseball player George Brett on the bench during the World Series of 1980 and put then-president Jimmy Carter in the operating room. Over two thirds of all healthy people reporting for physical examinations are found have hemorrhoids.
