Hemorrhoids (Piles) are blood vessels located in the
smooth muscles of the walls of the rectum and anus. They are a normal part of
the anatomy and are located at the junction where small arteries merge into
veins. They are cushioned by smooth muscles and connective tissue and are
classified by where they are located in relationship to the pectinate line, the
dividing point between the upper 2/3 and lower 1/3 of the anus.
Internal hemorrhoids are
located above the pectinate line and are covered with cells that are the same
as those that line the rest of the intestines. External hemorrhoids arise below
the line and are covered with cells that resemble skin. Hemorrhoids become an
issue only when they begin to swell, causing itching, pain and/or bleeding.
