All of us have hemorrhoids (masses, clumps and cushions of tissue in the anal canal) in our body. All is fine, until these hemorrhoid cushions become too big due to inflammation. It is at this point, that we have piles.

The inflammation weakens the muscles of the anal walls and causes the tissues to sag and bulge from there. Piles can grow either inside the anus or externally, where it appears outside the anus. While, there is no age or gender that is more vulnerable, but it is observed in people aged 45 and more.

Piles affects a lot of population worldwide but even today, despite so many attainments in health care, people struggle with the pain and discomfort that piles brings in its wake.

Some factors make it more likely that piles you already have will start to cause problems. These include, frequently lifting heavy objects, long periods of time sitting or travelling, giving birth While the presence of hemorrhoids is a reflection of the normal anatomy, most people and care professionals refer to hemorrhoids as an abnormal finding because they only present when they swell and cause problems.

Hemorrhoid swelling occurs when there is an increase in the pressure in the small vessels that make up the hemorrhoid causing them to swell and engorge with blood. This causes them to increase in size leading to symptoms.

In most cases piles are not serious and go away on their own after a few days. An individual with piles may experience the following symptoms:
