Hemorrhoids
Man and monkey have hemorrhoids, the price of being two legged creatures. Hemorrhoids are external which are skin tags and internal which are blood vessels. The internal hemorrhoids can shrink in size or balloon up especially during the act of straining or if there is significant swelling of the abdomen and an impediment to the blood flow. This latter issue is seen in pregnant females, individuals with constipation or significant fluid in the abdomen.

Moreover, symptomatic hemorrhoids are transient and avoidance constipation and use of local creams/ suppositories that are steroid based can assist in relieving the symptoms
