Piles, or hemorrhoids, can vary in appearance depending on their type and severity. They are classified into two types:

Internal Piles:

• Located inside the rectum.
• Usually painless but can cause bleeding.
• May not be visible externally.
• Can protrude during bowel movements, appearing as small, grape-like lumps.

External Piles:

• Located under the skin around the anus.
• Can be painful.
• Appear as swollen, bluish lumps.
• Can cause itching, irritation, and discomfort.

  

Piles, or hemorrhoids, develop due to increased pressure in the lower rectum, which can cause the veins in this area to become swollen and inflamed. Here are common causes:

1. Chronic Constipation: Straining during bowel movements puts pressure on the veins.
2. Diarrhea: Frequent bowel movements can irritate the rectal area.
3. Sitting for Long Periods: Prolonged sitting, especially on the toilet, increases pressure on the rectal veins.
4. Low-Fiber Diet: Lack of fiber in the diet can lead to constipation and straining.
5. Obesity: Excess weight increases pressure on the pelvic veins.
6. Pregnancy: The increased pressure on the abdomen and hormonal changes can cause hemorrhoids.
7. Heavy Lifting: Frequent heavy lifting or strain can contribute to hemorrhoid formation.
8. Aging: The tissues supporting the veins in the rectum and anus can weaken and stretch with age.
9. Anal Intercourse: Can irritate the rectal area.
10. Genetics: A family history of hemorrhoids may increase the likelihood of developing them.

If you are experiencing symptoms of piles, the best specialist to consult is a proctologist. Proctologists are experts in diagnosing and treating disorders of the rectum, anus, and colon, making them the best choice for managing piles.
