Hemorrhoids, also called piles, are vascular structures in the anal canal.

In their normal state, they are cushions that help with stool control.

They become a disease when swollen or inflamed; the unqualified term "hemorrhoid" is often used to refer to the disease.

The signs and symptoms of hemorrhoids depend on the type present.

Internal hemorrhoids are usually present with painless, bright red rectal bleeding when defecating.

External hemorrhoids often result in pain and swelling in the area of the anus.

If bleeding occurs it is usually darker.

Symptoms frequently get better after a few days.

A skin tag may remain after the healing of an external hemorrhoid.

Nausea is a sensation of unease and discomfort in the upper stomach with an involuntary urge to vomit.

It may precede vomiting, but a person can have nausea without vomiting.

When prolonged, it is a debilitating symptom.

Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs are medicines sold directly to a consumer without a prescription from a healthcare professional, as compared to prescription drugs, which may be sold only to consumers possessing a valid prescription.

In many countries, OTC drugs are selected by a regulatory agency to ensure that they are ingredients that are safe and effective when used without a physician's care.

OTC drugs are usually regulated by active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), not final products.

By regulating APIs instead of specific drug formulations, governments allow manufacturers freedom to formulate ingredients, or combinations of ingredients, into proprietary mixtures.

In medicine, a catheter is a thin tube made from medical grade materials serving a broad range of functions.

Catheters are medical devices that can be inserted in the body to treat diseases or perform a surgical procedure.

By modifying the material or adjusting the way catheters are manufactured, it is possible to tailor catheters for cardiovascular, urological, gastrointestinal, neurovascular, and ophthalmic applications.

Urinary incontinence (UI), also known as involuntary urination, is any leakage of urine.

It is a common and distressing problem, which may have a large impact on quality of life.

Pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause are major risk factors.

It has been identified as an important issue in geriatric health care.

Urinary incontinence is often a result of an underlying medical condition but is under-reported to medical practitioners.

Enuresis is often used to refer to urinary incontinence primarily in children, such as nocturnal enuresis (bed wetting).
