PILES

“Piles,” also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum and anus. They can cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding. Hemorrhoids are very common, especially among adults, and are typically categorized into two types: internal and external.

### Types of Hemorrhoids

1. *Internal Hemorrhoids*:

– Located inside the rectum and are usually not visible.

– They generally do not cause pain due to fewer pain-sensing nerves in the rectum.

– Symptoms can include painless bleeding during bowel movements or a prolapse (when an internal hemorrhoid pushes through the anal opening).

2. *External Hemorrhoids*:

– Located under the skin around the anus.

– More likely to cause discomfort or pain, especially if they become thrombosed (when a blood clot forms inside the hemorrhoid).

– Symptoms include itching, swelling, pain, and bleeding.

### Symptoms

Common symptoms of hemorrhoids include:

– *Bleeding*: Bright red blood on toilet paper or in the toilet bowl.

– *Itching or Irritation*: Around the anal region.

– *Pain or Discomfort*: Especially during bowel movements or sitting.

– *Swelling*: Around the anus.

– *Lumps*: Sensitive lumps near the anus, which may be thrombosed external hemorrhoids.

### Causes

Several factors can contribute to the development of hemorrhoids:

– *Straining during Bowel Movements*: Increased pressure in the rectal area.

– *Chronic Constipation or Diarrhea*: Frequent bowel movements can strain the rectal veins.

– *Sitting for Long Periods*: Especially on the toilet.

– *Pregnancy*: Increased pressure from the uterus and hormonal changes.

– *Obesity*: Extra weight puts more pressure on the pelvic veins.

– *Low-Fiber Diet*: Leads to straining during bowel movements.

– *Aging*: Tissues supporting the veins in the rectum and anus can weaken with age.
