Piles, also known as haemorrhoids, are swollen and enlarged veins that form inside or around the anal canal. They can cause pain, discomfort, itching, and bleeding during bowel movements. Internal haemorrhoids develop inside the anal canal and may not always be visible.
If piles are ignored or left untreated, they can lead to complications such as skin irritation, rashes, and more severe stages of the condition that may require piles surgery in Bangalore. Seeking timely treatment is important to manage piles effectively and prevent the condition from worsening.
Recognising the symptoms early can help you get the right treatment before the condition worsens.
Bleeding during or after bowel movements — bright red blood on toilet paper
Pain, itching or discomfort around the anal area
A lump or swelling near the anus that may be tender
A feeling of incomplete bowel emptying even after passing stool
Mucus discharge after bowel movements
Swelling around the anus
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, do not delay seeking medical advice. Early treatment leads to faster recovery and prevents complications. Call us at +91 77603 00622 or book consultation today.
Piles develop due to increased pressure in the lower rectum. The most common causes include:
Straining during bowel movements puts excessive pressure on the rectal veins.
Sitting for long periods, especially on the toilet, increases pressure in the anal region.
Family history may make certain individuals more prone to piles.
A diet lacking in fruits, vegetables and whole grains leads to hard stools and straining.
Lifting heavy objects repeatedly puts strain on rectal veins.
In some cases, anal sex can trigger new haemorrhoids or worsen existing ones.
Piles are classified into four grades based on severity:
Small swellings inside the anal canal. Not visible from outside. No prolapse.
Larger swellings that may come out during bowel movements but return on their own.
Swellings that come out of the anus and need to be pushed back in manually.
Large swellings that hang permanently outside and cannot be pushed back in.
