Haemorrhoids and rectal conditions (rectocele)
Haemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the rectum and can be described as a type of varicose vein. Anal skin tags may occur in the same places but consist of skin and connective tissue without large blood vessels. These conditions are very common and harmless, but can cause substantial everyday discomfort and pain.
