What are hemorrhoids? **TMI**

Forgive my ignorance, but what are they? How do they feel? I kind of have an idea of what they are from what my husband has told me, but I have no clue how they feel or anything really. I don't know how you get them or anything. I'm asking cause I'm pregnant and I've been extremely constipated and the other day, well, TMI.. I was in the bathroom and it hurt a lot to push that thing out! When I wiped I was bleeding. I thought it was cause I spent a good 20 minutes trying to push it out and it was dryer than the 🏜️ desert. So I was bleeding a little bit and I've been irritated since then. I've had some bowel movements since then and it hurts that area where I bled from, but I thought it was cause it hasn't healed properly because of the time I bled and pushed out that solid rock 😖 I haven't bled anymore, it just kind of hurts and feels uncomfortable when I go 💩 I've felt around there because my husband said they're like little bumps or something and can't feel anything like that.

Some hemorrhoids can be inside where it’s not as easy to feel but he is right they are inflamed bumps that are caused from constipation. Or another thing it could be is an anal fissure but hemorrhoids are more common
