---- Overview ----

Piles/ haemarroids

Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen blood vessels in the rectal area. They can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus). Common causes include straining during bowel movements, pregnancy, chronic constipation, and a sedentary lifestyle. Symptoms may include itching, pain, bleeding, and discomfort. Treatment options range from lifestyle modifications like increasing fiber intake and maintaining good hygiene to medications, creams, and medical procedures like rubber band ligation or surgery for severe cases.

What are the causes of Piles/haemarroids?

Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, develop due to increased pressure in the veins of the rectum and anus. The common causes include:

  • Chronic Constipation – Straining during bowel movements increases pressure on rectal veins.
  • Prolonged Sitting – Sitting for long hours, especially on the toilet, can lead to swollen veins.
  • Low-Fiber Diet – Lack of fiber in the diet results in hard stools and straining.
  • Obesity – Excess weight increases pressure on the rectal veins
  • Pregnancy – Increased pressure on the pelvic area during pregnancy can cause hemorrhoids.
  • Chronic Diarrhea – Frequent bowel movements irritate the rectal veins
  • Heavy Lifting – Regular heavy lifting can strain the rectal veins.
  • Aging – Weakening of rectal tissues with age can contribute to piles.
  • Genetics – A family history of hemorrhoids may increase the risk.

Adopting a high-fiber diet, staying hydrated, and avoiding prolonged sitting can help prevent piles.

What are the Symptoms of Piles/haemarroids?

Piles, or hemorrhoids, can cause discomfort and vary in severity. The common symptoms include:

  • Bleeding – Bright red blood during or after bowel movements.
  • Pain and Discomfort – Especially while sitting or passing stools.
  • Itching and Irritation – Around the anal region.
  • Swelling – A lump or swelling near the anus.
  • Mucus Discharge – Leakage of mucus causing discomfort.
  • Sensation of Incomplete Evacuation – Feeling like the bowel is not fully emptied.
  • Prolapse (Bulging Veins) – Internal hemorrhoids may protrude outside the anus.

If symptoms persist, seek medical attention for proper piles treatment to prevent complications.

What are the Investigations of Piles/ haemarroids?

To diagnose piles, a doctor may perform the following investigations:

  • Physical Examination – The doctor examines the anal area for external hemorrhoids, swelling, or lumps.
  • Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) – A lubricated, gloved finger is inserted into the rectum to check for internal hemorrhoids or abnormalities.
  • Anoscopy – A small tube with a light (anoscope) is inserted into the rectum to examine internal hemorrhoids.
  • Proctoscopy – A specialized scope is used for a detailed view of the rectum and anal canal.
  • Sigmoidoscopy – A flexible tube with a camera examines the lower part of the colon for other possible conditions.
  • Colonoscopy – If bleeding is present, a colonoscopy may be done to rule out polyps, colorectal cancer, or other intestinal issues.
  • Stool Test (Occult Blood Test) – To check for hidden blood in the stool, which may indicate other gastrointestinal conditions.

These tests help confirm the diagnosis of piles and rule out serious conditions like colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel disease.

What are the treatment options for Piles/ haemarroids?

Piles treatment depends on severity and includes lifestyle changes, medications, minimally invasive procedures, and surgery.

Home Remedies & Lifestyle Changes:

  • High-fiber diet, increased water intake, and regular exercise.
  • Sitz baths (warm water soaks) for pain relief.

Medications:

  • Topical ointments (hydrocortisone, lidocaine) and pain relievers.
  • Stool softeners to prevent constipation.

Minimally Invasive Procedures:

  • Rubber Band Ligation: Cuts off blood supply to shrink hemorrhoids.
  • Sclerotherapy & Laser Treatment: Non-surgical options for relief.

Surgical Options:

  • Hemorrhoidectomy (removal of large hemorrhoids).
  • Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy (for prolapsed hemorrhoids).

Piles/ haemarroids

Piles/haemorrhoids are generally not considered life-threatening, but they can cause significant discomfort and affect quality of life. While mild cases can often be managed with lifestyle modifications and over-the-counter treatments, severe or recurrent cases may require medical interventions or surgical procedures. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

While it may not be possible to completely prevent piles/haemorrhoids, certain lifestyle modifications can help reduce the risk. These include maintaining a high-fiber diet, drinking plenty of water, engaging in regular physical activity, avoiding prolonged sitting or straining during bowel movements, and practicing good anal hygiene. Taking breaks during extended periods of sitting and avoiding excessive lifting can also help prevent the development or worsening of piles/haemorrhoids.

You should consider consulting a healthcare professional if you experience persistent or recurrent symptoms such as bleeding, pain, or discomfort in the anal area. It's particularly important to seek medical attention if the bleeding is severe, if you notice blood in your stools, or if you have a family history of colorectal cancer. A doctor can provide an accurate diagnosis, rule out other potential causes, and recommend appropriate treatment options based on your specific condition.
