What are Piles?
Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen and inflamed veins located around the anus or in the lower rectum. They can develop inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids). Piles are a common condition, affecting millions of people worldwide, and can cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding.
Causes of Piles
• Chronic constipation: Increases pressure on rectum and anus veins, causing swelling and inflammation.
• Pregnancy: Weight and hormonal changes during pregnancy and post-childbirth can cause piles.
• Aging: Weakening supporting tissues in rectum and anus increase susceptibility to piles.
• Obesity: Excess weight adds pressure to veins, increasing piles risk.
• Prolonged sitting or standing: Activities involving prolonged sitting or standing increase pressure on veins in rectal area.
Symptoms of Piles
• Bleeding during bowel movements: Internal hemorrhoids can cause bright red blood on toilet tissue or in the bowl.
• Itching or irritation around the anus: External hemorrhoids can cause intense itching, burning, or irritation.
• Pain or discomfort: Both internal and external hemorrhoids can cause varying degrees of pain, especially during bowel movements.
• Swelling or protrusion: External hemorrhoids can appear as swollen lumps or protrusions around the anus.
• Mucus discharge: Internal hemorrhoids can cause mucus discharge or a feeling of wetness around the anus.
Diagnosis of Piles
• Physical examination: Visual inspection of anal area and digital rectal examination for abnormalities or swollen veins.
• Anoscopy or sigmoidoscopy: Use of lighted scope for examination of lower rectum and anus.
• Colonoscopy: In some cases, colonoscopy may be recommended to rule out other conditions or examine the entire colon.
Types of Piles
• Internal hemorrhoids: Located inside the rectum, not visible unless protruding through the anus. • External hemorrhoids: Develop under skin around the anus, swollen, painful lumps or protrusions.
Adverse Effects of Piles
• Anemia: Chronic bleeding from internal hemorrhoids can lead to iron deficiency anemia. • Thrombosed hemorrhoids: A blood clot within an external hemorrhoid can cause severe pain, swelling, and inflammation.
• Strangulated hemorrhoids: In rare cases, internal hemorrhoids can become strangulated, leading to severe pain and potential tissue death.
• Fissures or fistulas: Untreated piles can lead to anal fissures or fistulas.
Diet in Piles
• Increase fiber intake: Consume fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes for regular bowel movements and constipation prevention.
• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, especially water, to soften stools and prevent straining during bowel movements.
• Limit intake of processed and spicy foods: These can irritate the digestive system and worsen piles.
• Consider fiber supplements: Psyllium husk or methylcellulose can help maintain regular bowel movements.
• Avoid foods that can cause constipation: Limit dairy products, processed meats, and refined grains.
• Severe cases may require medical treatment, as recommended by a healthcare professional.
