LOL, now see, this is the kind of question that totally needs to be asked up in this website. although i don't know, i definitely share your confusion as to why they're called hemmorhoids. assteroids would've been infinitely cooler. but i guess that's just the beauty of our generation. xD

Hemorrhoids are veins on or around the anus in which the vein walls have weakened, allowing blood to pool, causing the walls of the vein to expand. Bleeding hemorrhoids may occur if the weakened veins burst, resulting in the presence of blood during and after bowel movements.
The prefix "hema," or "hemo" means "blood." Does this effectively answer your question?
PS: "aster" means "star" not "anus" or "rectum,"
