Haemorrhoids commonly known as piles is a condition where the veins around the rectum and anus are swollen.
Many times, piles may remain unnoticed and do not cause any pain or symptoms. But sometimes symptoms may present as -
Discharge of blood while passing stool.
Itching in and around rectum
Pain and burning during defecation which remains even after passage of stool.
Swollen mass protruding from the anus.
Haemorrhoids have been classified into four grades depending upon size, location and degree of prolapse.
Grade I – there are no symptoms and piles do not protrude out from anus.
Grade II – piles protrude out the anus but goes back on their own.
Grade III – piles protrude out of anus, go inside when pushed by fingers manually.
Grade IV - piles protrude outside and cannot be pushed back inside.
Haemorrhoids occur due to dilatation of veins in the rectal and anal region, because of which haemorrhoids develop.
Following are the causes which play role in development of haemorrhoids -
Chronic constipation or diarrhoea
Pregnancy
Sometimes due to ageing
Obesity
Low intake of fibre in diet, which leads to formation of hard stools and excessive straining.
In some patients, family history of piles is found.
Stress
Anaemia due to much blood loss during stool.
Infection
Anal fistula
Gangrene
Sometimes, faecal incontinence may also occur.
Most of the cases of piles get better and subside by lifestyle changes, therefore lifestyle changes must be done.
Increasing the intake of water throughout the day is very much important.
Including more fibre, fruits and green vegetables in your diet is also beneficial.
Weight reduction helps in prevention of complications of piles.
Regular exercise is equally important.
Straining while passing should be avoided.
You can take a sitz bath, to relieve the pain and irritation that occur due to piles.
