It’s a common problem but not one people like to talk about. We all have hemorrhoids, they are just venous cushions around the anus. It’s actually good news that we have them, as without them the stool might start leaking out of the anus. But when they get irritated and inflamed they can cause no end of discomfort, with burning and itching among the most common complaints.
