hemorrhoid
(redirected from Hemoroid)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

hemorrhoid

 or pile

Mass formed by distension of the network of veins supplying the anal canal. It may develop from infection or increased abdominal pressure (as in pregnancy or heavy lifting). Mild hemorrhoids may require only ointments, laxatives, and baths. If clotting, bleeding, or pain occurs, surgical removal may be needed. Internal hemorrhoids, with little nerve supply, can be destroyed in several ways without anesthesia. External hemorrhoids, under the skin, are cut out under local anesthesia.

hemorrhoid [′hem‚rȯid]
(medicine)
A varicosity of the external hemorrhoidal veins, causing painful swelling in the anal region.

Anti-inflammatory creams that act as a cure for hemoroids are classically the most opted-for tactic because they aid to lighten the difficulty as well as work toward reducing the size and intensity of the concern, unlike surgical treatment which can broaden the point at issue and result in torturing pain.
