HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M
Hemorrhoids occur when veins in the rectum or anus become swollen and painful and may bleed. Sometimes they go away by themselves, but in other cases they can cause lingering pain, itching, and bleeding. There are two types of hemorrhoids: those that are just inside the anus or lower rectum (internal) and those that are outside the opening to the anus (external).

HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M
Overview
Dietary fiber, found in the walls of plant cells, cannot be digested by enzymes in the human digestive tract but plays an essential role in human health. It is found in all plant-based foods, with most whole foods containing a combination of the two types of fiber, including soluble and insoluble fiber. Both types of fiber help maintain the health of the intestinal tract and promote regular elimination of stool.
