2. Piles : Symptoms, Causes and Treatment
Hemorrhoids (HEM-uh-roids), also known as piles, are swollen veins in the anus and lower rectum that resemble
varicose veins. Hemorrhoids can form inside the rectum (internal haemorrhoids) or beneath the skin near the anus
(external hemorrhoids). Hemorrhoids affect nearly three out of every four adults at some point in their lives.
Hemorrhoids are caused by a variety of factors, the majority of which are unknown. Fortunately, there are effective
treatments for haemorrhoids. Many people find relief through home remedies and lifestyle changes. Pilesfissure is the

● A hard, possibly painful lump may be felt around the anus. It may contain coagulated blood. Piles
that contain blood are called thrombosed external hemorrhoids.
● After passing a stool, a person with piles may experience the feeling that the bowels are still full.
● Bright red blood is visible after a bowel movement.
● The area around the anus is itchy, red, and sore.
● Pain occurs during the passing of a stool.
4. Types of hemorrhoids
External:Under the skin, swollen veins form around the anus. Your anus is the canal through which poop exits. External haemorrhoids can be painful and itchy.
They bleed on occasion. They occasionally fill with blood that can clot. This is not dangerous, but it may cause pain and swelling.
Internal:Inside the rectum, swollen veins form. The rectum is the digestive system component that connects the colon (large intestine) to the anus. Internal
haemorrhoids bleed, but they are rarely painful.
Prolapsed: Internal and external haemorrhoids can both prolapse, or stretch and bulge outside of the anus. These haemorrhoids may bleed or hurt.

● Exercise. Stay active to help prevent constipation and to reduce pressure on veins, which can occur with long periods of standing or sitting.
● Avoid long periods of sitting.
