Overview

Uterine fibroids are common growths of the uterus. They often appear during the years you're usually able to get pregnant and give birth. Uterine fibroids are not cancer, and they almost never turn into cancer. They aren't linked with a higher risk of other types of cancer in the uterus either. They're also called leiomyomas (lie-o-my-O-muhs) or myomas.

Fibroids vary in number and size. You can have a single fibroid or more than one. Some of these growths are too small to see with the eyes. Others can grow to the size of a grapefruit or larger. A fibroid that gets very big can distort the inside and the outside of the uterus. In extreme cases, some fibroids grow large enough to fill the pelvis or stomach area. They can make a person look pregnant.

Many people have uterine fibroids sometime during their lives. But you might not know you have them, because they often cause no symptoms. Your health care professional may just happen to find fibroids during a pelvic exam or pregnancy ultrasound.

Hemorrhoids also called piles, are swollen and inflamed veins in your a**s and lower re**um. Hemorrhoids may result from straining during bowel movements or from the increased pressure on these veins during pregnancy, among other causes. Hemorrhoids may be located inside the re**um (internal Hemorrhoids), or they may develop under the skin around the a**s (external Hemorrhoids).
Hemorrhoids are common ailments. By age 50, about half of adults have had to deal with the itching, discomfort and bleeding that can signal the presence of Hemorrhoids.
Fortunately, many effective options are available to treat Hemorrhoids. Most people can get relief from symptoms by using home treatments and making lifestyle changes.

SYMPTOMS

Signs and symptoms of Hemorrhoids may include:

Painless bleeding during bowel movements — you might notice small amounts of bright red blood on your toilet tissue or in the toilet bowl

Itching or irritation in your a**l region

Pain or discomfort

Swelling around your a**s

A lump near your a**s, which may be sensitive or painful

Leakage of f***s

Hemorrhoid symptoms usually depend on the location. Internal Hemorrhoids lie inside the re**um. You usually can't see or feel these Hemorrhoids, and they usually don't cause discomfort.
But straining or irritation when passing stool can damage a hemorrhoid's delicate surface and cause it to bleed. Occasionally, straining can push an internal hemorrhoid through the a**l opening. This is known as a protruding or pr*****ed hemorrhoid and can cause pain and irritation.
External Hemorrhoids are under the skin around your a**s. When irritated, external Hemorrhoids can itch or bleed. Sometimes blood may pool in an external hemorrhoid and form a clot (thrombus), resulting in severe pain, swelling and inflammation.
CAUSES

The veins around your a**s tend to stretch under pressure and may bulge or swell. Swollen veins (Hemorrhoids) can develop from an increase in pressure in the lower.
