What Are Piles?
Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus. They can cause discomfort, pain, itching, and sometimes bleeding. Piles can be classified into two types:
Internal Hemorrhoids: Located inside the rectum, often painless but may cause bleeding.
External Hemorrhoids: Found under the skin around the anus, which can be painful and may form clots.
Causes of Piles
Several factors contribute to the development of piles, including:
Chronic Constipation or Diarrhea – Straining during bowel movements puts pressure on rectal veins.
Prolonged Sitting or Standing – Lack of movement can lead to poor circulation.
Pregnancy – Increased abdominal pressure and hormonal changes can lead to hemorrhoids.
Obesity – Excess weight puts additional pressure on veins in the rectal area.
Low-Fiber Diet – Insufficient fiber intake can lead to constipation, worsening piles.
Genetic Predisposition – A family history of hemorrhoids increases the risk.
Symptoms of Piles
Bleeding during bowel movements
Pain or discomfort around the anus
Itching and irritation
Swelling or lumps near the anus
Mucus discharge after passing stools
