Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen veins in the lower part of the anus and rectum. They occur when the veins surrounding the anus are engorged or enlarged. Common causes include pregnancy, aging, diarrhea, chronic constipation, sitting or standing for long periods, heavy lifting, anal intercourse, obesity, and genetics. Symptoms include painless bleeding, itching or irritation in the anal area, discomfort, pain, or soreness. Diagnosis is made by a doctor based on symptoms. Treatment options range from simple measures like lifestyle changes to medicines or surgery depending on severity.

4. HAEMORRHOID
• Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen veins in the lower part
of the anus and rectum. When the walls of these vessels are stretched,
they become irritated.

5. CONT…
• Although hemorrhoids can be unpleasant and painful, they are easily
treated and very preventable. As hemorrhoids generally get worse
over time, doctors suggest that they should be treated as soon as they
appear.

6. FAST FACTS ON HAEMORRHOIDS
• Women are more likely to get hemorrhoids while pregnant.
• The likelihood of developing hemorrhoids increases as a person ages.
• Hemorrhoids occur when the veins surrounding the anus are
engorged or enlarged.
• Sometimes, medicines and surgery are needed to treat hemorrhoids.

7. TYPES
• Internal hemorrhoids
• External hemorrhoids

8. CAUSES
• Pregnancy: They occur more commonly in pregnant women because, as the
uterus enlarges, it presses on the vein in the colon, causing it to bulge.
• Aging: Hemorrhoids are most common among adults aged 45 to 65 years. This
does not mean, however, that young people and children do not get them.
• Diarrhea: Hemorrhoids can occur after cases of chronic diarrhea.
• Chronic constipation: Straining to move stool puts additional pressure on the
walls of the blood vessels.

9. CONT..
• Sitting for too long: Staying in a seated position for long periods of time can
cause hemorrhoids, especially on the toilet.
• Heavy lifting: Repeatedly lifting heavy objects can lead to hemorrhoids.
• Anal intercourse: This can cause new hemorrhoids or worsen existing ones.
• Obesity: Diet-related obesity can cause hemorrhoids.
• Genetics: Some people inherit a tendency to develop hemorrhoids.

10. SYMPTOMS
• painless bleeding
• itching or irritation in the anal area
• discomfort, pain, or soreness in the same area
• lumps and swelling in the anal region
• leaking feces

11. DIAGNOSIS
• Anyone experiencing the symptoms outlined above should contact a
doctor. Bear in mind that other things, including colorectal and anal
cancers, can cause rectal bleeding.

12. TREATMENTS
• In the majority of cases, simple measures will alleviate symptoms
while hemorrhoids get better without treatment. However, medicines
and even surgery may sometimes be needed.
