Piles (Hemorrhoids) – Swollen Veins in the Rectal Area
What are Piles?
Piles, also known as Hemorrhoids, are swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum and anus that cause discomfort, bleeding, and difficulty in passing stool. They can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (around the anal opening).
Piles are common in adults and often result from chronic constipation, straining during bowel movements, or a sedentary lifestyle.
Common Symptoms of Piles
Bleeding during or after passing stool (bright red blood)
Pain, itching, or burning in the anal region
Swelling or lump near the anus
Mucus discharge
Feeling of incomplete evacuation
Causes of Piles
Chronic constipation or diarrhea
Low-fiber diet
Prolonged sitting or straining during toilet
Pregnancy (due to increased pressure in pelvic veins)
Obesity

Lifestyle Tips for Managing Piles Naturally:
Eat high-fiber foods – whole grains, vegetables, fruits, seeds
