You are not alone. Over 11 million people suffer from hemorrhoids in North America. Many people do not realize that there is a simple, easy way to correct the problem.
Hemorrhoids are vascular tissue pads in and about the anus.
Hemorrhoids are divided into internal ones which are usually not visible and are covered by a shiny lining called mucosa, and external ones which are covered by normal skin. When the internal and external hemorrhoids become so big that they blend one with the other, then they are called complex hemorrhoids. The symptoms of hemorrhoids include pain, itching and bleeding. Hemorrhoid banding originated in the 1950's, and is the favored technique of treatment by surgeons. A small amount of hemorrhoidal tissue is suctioned into the ligator and tied off with a rubber band, which more or less strangles the trapped tissue.
