Humans do not have the anal glands or sacs that dogs and many other mammal have. Apparently we never found it necessary to mark our territory... (besides, many people report that hemorrhoids are bad enough).
I remember taking my first dog to the vet to get his anal glands emptied. I had no idea what they were.

The vet squeezed them and all this horrible gunk exploded backwards hitting the vet on his nice white coat.

My dog looked very relieved and the vet very unhappy.

After that I used to empty them myself. A horrible task, but if done regularly they are not too 'explosive'.

Maybe hemorrhoids really are human anal glands! :-)

Ugh you do them yourelf, well I suppose it stops a trip to the vet. How do you know you have found them and its not something else or could be dangerous?
No way would i do that!!!!!!!!

Pickles (my dog) did have a problem with them one night and the smell was vile to say the least!!
