Haemorrhoids/Piles

Haemorrhoids or Piles are swollen blood vessels located in the rectum or anus. These veins stretch and become really thin, causing irritation, bleeding, swelling, burning sensation, or itching in the anal canal, pain in anal region or during bowel movements etc. The major causes for piles treatment include constipation, difficulty in passing stools, obesity, pregnancy etc.

Piles treatment depends on the stage and symptoms the patient has. Stage 1 is the mildest and Stage 4 is the most severe. Other than the two stages, haemorrhoids can even occur internally or externally. Internal haemorrhoids are a lot less noticeable and are recognized only because it causes bleeding while external haemorrhoids cause more obvious swelling and pains. Visiting a piles clinic is recommended to prevent severe consequences like protrusion of anal canal.
