What is Piles?
Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum or anus. They are similar to varicose veins and can cause discomfort, itching, pain, or bleeding during bowel movements. Piles can happen due to straining during bowel movements, sitting for long periods, pregnancy, or chronic constipation.
In simple terms, they are like tiny cushions or lumps in or around your bottom that get swollen and irritated. Some piles go away on their own, while others may need treatments like medications, lifestyle changes, or minor procedures.

Common Causes of Piles:
Straining during bowel movements: Pushing too hard while passing stool can put pressure on the veins in your bottom.
Chronic constipation or diarrhea: Both can irritate and stress the anal area.
Sitting for too long: Especially on the toilet or at a desk, this increases pressure on the rectal veins.
Pregnancy: The extra weight and pressure during pregnancy can lead to piles in women.
Lifting heavy objects: Doing this often or incorrectly can strain the lower body.
Low-fiber diet: Not eating enough fruits, vegetables, or whole grains can make stools hard and difficult to pass.
Obesity: Extra body weight puts pressure on the pelvic area.
Aging: As you age, the tissues in your rectum and anus naturally weaken, making piles more likely.
In simple terms, piles happen when too much pressure is put on the veins in your bottom, often due to things like straining, sitting too long, or unhealthy eating habits.

Symptoms of piles
Symptoms of Piles in Females:
Pain or discomfort while sitting or passing stool
Itching or irritation around the anal area
Bright red bleeding during or after bowel movements
Swelling or tender lumps around the anus
Slight leakage of stool in some cases
Symptoms of Piles in Males:
Pain or burning when using the toilet or sitting for long periods
Bleeding noticeable on toilet paper or in the toilet bowl
Lumps or swelling near the anus that may feel like a bump

Difficulty in sitting due to discomfort or soreness
In both men and women, the symptoms are mostly similar, but the severity may vary depending on lifestyle or health conditions.

Treatments for Piles
Non-Surgical Treatments for Piles
Rubber Band Ligation: A small rubber band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid to cut off blood supply, causing it to shrink and fall off.
Sclerotherapy: Injection of a chemical solution into the hemorrhoid to shrink it.
Infrared Coagulation (IRC): Uses infrared light to coagulate the blood vessels feeding the hemorrhoid, causing it to shrink.
Dietary and Lifestyle Changes: High-fiber diet, increased water intake, and avoiding straining during bowel movements.
Surgical Treatments for Piles
Hemorrhoidectomy: Surgical removal of large or severe hemorrhoids under anesthesia.
Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy (PPH): A procedure that uses a stapling device to remove hemorrhoidal tissue and reposition the remaining hemorrhoids.
Doppler-Guided Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation (DGHAL): Ultrasound is used to locate and tie off arteries supplying blood to hemorrhoids, reducing blood flow and swelling.
These advanced treatments are often tailored based on the severity of piles and patient preference. For expert care, consulting a colorectal surgeon or proctologists is recommended.
