'''Hemorrhoids''' (''UK sp. haemorrhoids'') are a condition in which the veins around the anus or lower rectum become swollen and inflamed, typically causing extreme discomfort. Hemorrhoids are often caused by straining to move stool, or sometimes by [[pregnancy]], [[liver]] decease, aging, chronic [[constipation]] or [[diarrhea]], and anal intercourse. Eating a healthy diet with reasonable amounts of fibre fiber and a good [[exercise]] reduces the risk of hemoroideshemorrhoids. There shoould should be enough fibre fiber to avoid constipation but not so much that there is a risk of diarrhoeadiarrhea.
Despite their discomfort, replica hemorrhoids have sometimes been used as lucky gold charms known as ormerods.
