They are enlarged blood vessels in the inner walls of the rectum. Occasionally they bleed a little, an can itch - cream from any pharmacist will sort this out.

People in midle age often find the incidence of haemerroids (also called piles) increases, and frequent troublesome occurences should be referrerd to a GP. In some cases, a small surgical operation can be used to 'strangle' the veins, a small elastic band is place around the protrusion, and in seven to ten days, the protrusion, and the band, fall off as a motion is passed.
Sufferers should avoid sitting on the toilet for long periods, and straining to pass motions is to be avoided as well.
Any serious probs., see a doctor, because rectal bleeding can indicate other conditions which may need treatment.
