According to the major symptom you describe, it seems likely that you are experiencing hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are swollen and painful varicose anal veins.
Hemorrhoids may usually appear during pregnancy or when someone is experiencing chronic constipation. Rectal bleeding is the major symptom. Itching and ab unpleasant feeling in the anal region also appear during cases of hemorrhoids.
