Why are "hemorrhoids" called "hemorrhoids" instead of "asteroids"

Because the word hemorrhoid actually means "flowing with blood". And a hemorrhoid is actually a varicose vein on the anus. I'm assuming you don't know what a varicose vein is either. That is when blood pools in the veins( because for one reason or another it is unable to be pushed back to the heart)and the veins eventually expand under all that pressure. In the medical world, we name things due to there medical relevance...NOT their comical value.

This site should make you never ask about hemorrhoids ever again.
