Piles (Hemorrhoids)

Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus, causing discomfort, itching, and bleeding. They can be internal, located inside the rectum, or external, under the skin around the anus. While piles are common, they can significantly impact daily life if not treated effectively.

Causes and Symptoms

  • Chronic constipation or diarrhea : Persistent bowel irregularities that strain the ano-rectal area and exacerbate discomfort.

  • Straining during bowel movements : Forceful efforts during defecation that often lead to anal pain and irritation.

  • Sitting for long periods : Prolonged sitting increases pressure on the rectal region, potentially causing discomfort.

  • Obesity : Excess body weight can contribute to the development of ano-rectal issues due to increased abdominal pressure.

  • Pregnancy : Hormonal changes and increased pressure on the pelvic region during pregnancy can lead to anal swelling and discomfort.

  • Low-fiber diet : Insufficient dietary fiber intake contributes to difficulty in passing stools, exacerbating anal strain and discomfort.

Symptoms:

  • Pain or discomfort during bowel movements : Sharp or dull pain experienced while passing stools, indicating possible ano-rectal issues.

  • Itching or irritation around the anus : Persistent itching or irritation, often accompanied by redness, can be symptomatic of anal discomfort.

  • Swelling or lumps near the anus : Visible or palpable swelling or bumps in the anal area, indicative of potential ano-rectal conditions.

  • Bleeding during bowel movements : Blood in or on the stool, on toilet paper, or in the toilet bowl, suggesting hemorrhoids or fissures.

  • Mucus discharge after a bowel movement : Unusual discharge of mucus from the anus following defecation, a possible sign of inflammation or infection in the anal region.
