Haemorrhoids/Piles
Understanding Haemorrhoids/Piles
Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen blood vessels in the rectum or anus. They can cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding during bowel movements. Hemorrhoids can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus). Although common, they can cause significant discomfort and require treatment to alleviate symptoms.
Common Causes of Haemorrhoids/Piles
- Straining During Bowel Movements: Chronic constipation or diarrhea.
- Prolonged Sitting: Sitting for long periods, especially on the toilet.
- Pregnancy: Increased pressure on the pelvic blood vessels.
- Obesity: Excess weight increases pressure on the veins in the rectum and anus.
- Low-Fiber Diet: Lack of fiber can cause constipation and straining.
Symptoms of Haemorrhoids/Piles
- Pain or discomfort during bowel movements
- Itching or irritation in the anal area
- Swelling or a lump near the anus
- Bleeding during bowel movements
- Mucus discharge
