WHAT IS PILES (HEMORRHOIDS)?

Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen blood vessels in the rectal and anal area, which can cause pain, discomfort, and bleeding. They are a common condition influenced by factors like prolonged sitting, obesity, and constipation.

TYPES OF PILES

  • Internal Piles: Located inside the rectum, often painless, and may cause bleeding.
  • External Piles: Found outside the anus, these are painful, itchy, and may form lumps.

Types of Piles based on Protrusion

  • First Degree: Piles bleed but do not protrude outside the anus
  • Second Degree: Piles protrude during bowel movements but retract on their own.
  • Third Degree: Piles protrude and require manual assistance to return to the rectum.
  • Fourth Degree: Piles remain prolapsed and cannot be pushed back in, often requiring surgical treatment.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

  • Bleeding during bowel movements.
  • Pain and discomfort in the anal region.
  • Swelling and itching around the anus.
  • Protrusion or prolapse of hemorrhoids.
  • Fecal leakage in severe cases.

CAUSES OF PILES

  • Excessive straining during bowel movements.
  • Sitting for prolonged periods, especially on hard surfaces.
