The hemorrhoidal plexus is the place in the rectum where this intricate weave of
veins connect together in a sort of web, keeping the blood flow constant between
that area and the rest of the body.
The veins inside of the rectal opening are called internal hemorrhoidal veins;
while the ones located outside of the rectal opening are called external
hemorrhoidal veins.
The odds are that you never even noticed that these veins
existed, until they became inflamed, causing the problem most people refer to as
“hemorrhoids.”
The same kind of varicose veins we see protruding from the skin in our legs,
hemorrhoids are merely protruding internal or external veins that have become
irritated and inflamed due to a specific cause. When severe, they can cause
intense pain, stinging and even bleeding and must be dealt with. Even a minor
case of hemorrhoids, however, should not be ignored. They are a sign that
something in the body is not working properly and needs your attention.

Although they may feel similar, not every hemorrhoid is alike. First, there are
internal and external ones. Internal hemorrhoids are enlarged veins which
protrude (or prolapse) out of the opening of the anus.
They usually hurt and
can even bleed.
