Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the anus and lower rectum that can cause pain, discomfort, and bleeding. They are common in adults and can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus).
Causes of Piles:
🔹 Chronic Constipation or Straining – Increases pressure on rectal veins.
🔹 Sedentary Lifestyle – Prolonged sitting can worsen symptoms.
🔹 Pregnancy – Increased pressure from the growing uterus.
🔹 Obesity – Excess weight puts additional strain on rectal veins.
🔹 Low-Fiber Diet – Leads to hard stools and straining during bowel movements.
Symptoms to Watch For:
✔ Bleeding during bowel movements – Bright red blood in the stool.
✔ Pain and discomfort – Especially while sitting or during bowel movements.
✔ Itching and irritation around the anal region.
✔ Swelling or lumps near the anus.
✔ Mucus discharge and feeling of incomplete evacuation.
