Hemorrhoids are swollen or inflamed veins in the lower rectum and anus that can cause discomfort, bleeding during bowel movements, itching, and pain. While they are common, especially among adults over 50, persistent or severe symptoms may require medical attention. At Rivas Digestive Center, we provide both conservative and advanced hemorrhoid treatment options, including lifestyle guidance, prescription therapy, and minimally invasive procedures like rubber band ligation to restore comfort and bowel function.
