Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swellings that contain enlarged blood vessels that are found inside or around the bottom (the rectum and anus).
Most haemorrhoids are mild and sometimes don't even cause symptoms. When there are symptoms, these usually include:
bleeding after passing a stool (the blood will be bright red)
itchy bottom
a lump hanging down outside of the anus, which may need to be pushed back in after passing a stool
