Hemorrhoids

[ronroush7]

Can hemorrhoids cause you to go to the bathroom a lot or drain or make you lose control?

I had semi-internal hemorrhoids for a year. When it started I felt like i needed to expel stool or something stuck in my lower rectum, but I finally understood there was nothing to expel. H are swollen veins which take room in the recto-anal canal, resulting in discomfort. hemorrhoid was a new phenomenon for me. It started because I was early in flare and going to the toilet 3 to 4 times a day. Hemorrhoids can be triggered by repetitive D/loose stools (too much activity in the anal canal) or constipation (too much straining to expel stool), and prolly other situations too.
