Haemorrhoids are also known as piles. They are enlarged (swollen) blood vessels around the anus and lower rectum. They are akin to varicose veins.

Haemorrhoid, in many cases, are asymptomatic – may be people don’t realize even if they cause some symptoms.

Piles or haemorrhoids

Piles are common in many people. Symptoms of piles include pain, irritation, itching and sometimes blood in stools. The other common symptoms include inflammation in the anal and rectal region where veins become bulged, exposed out or sometimes swollen.

What are the causes of piles?

The main culprit for piles is your unhealthy bowel movements and frequent stomach upset over a period of time. Often many people ignore constipation when it becomes a routine, and in addition to this, they neglect their lifestyle and eating habits. Constipation and irregular bowel movements gradually aggravate the problem leading to hard stool and when you apply strain and pressure to pass the stool, the blood circulation in the veins lining your rectal and anal region increases. They bulge and become varicose vein and over a period of time lead to internal and external piles. External piles are painful and they appear around the lining of anus. Internal piles are less painful and sometimes become painful once they come out of the anus.

The other causes include unhealthy life style, sedentary life, excessive work, consumption of diet less in fibre, consumption of less vegetables and fruits and even water and other fluids, excessive workouts, delaying bowel movements, less frequent bowel movements, anxiety, depression, excessive travelling, spicy foods, junk foods, chronic constipation and diarrhoea and many more.

Itching, irritation while passing stools, blood in stools, dark red coloured stool, excessive pain during bowel movements, rectal and anal swelling, inflammation and sometimes excessive bleeding are the most common symptoms of piles.
