Definición
- A hemorrhoid, also known collectively as emerods or piles, was first so described during the 16th century and the word is derived from the Greek for “the discharging of blood.” It is a swelling and inflammation of veins which can occur in the rectum or anal channel. Essentially, it can be formed by a distension of the vein network under the mucous membrane around the anal channel, or under the skin around the nearby external area.
