Haemorrhoids that have swollen up are called piles, and they develop inside, around, and along the anal canal. In the anal canal, haemorrhoids are collections of tissue that are cushioned by blood vessels, support tissue, muscle, and elastic fibers.

Haemorrhoids affect everybody. However, piles form when the haemorrhoids securing the anal route swell excessively as a result of inflammation, causing the vein walls to weaken, stretch, and get irritated by bowel movement passage.

Most of the time, piles disappear on their own.

Pile types can be broadly divided into two groups:

Internal piles

Internal Piles are hidden deep within the rectum and are neither visible nor palpable. Typically, bleeding is the only symptom. There are four grades of internal piles

2. External piles

Under the skin, around the anus, there are a lot of pain-sensing nerves that are called external piles. As a result, they bleed and pain.

What are the causes of piles?

Pile-related issues are primarily brought by:

Pregnancy
persistently heavy lifting
getting fat
hereditary propensity for heaps
diet lacking in fiber
insufficient hydration
sedentary kind of life
stress
straining when you urinate
diarrhea and indigestion
prior bowel surgery
intestinal constriction following surgery
damage to the spinal cord that causes bladder and rectal dysfunction
malfunction of the pelvic floor
continual standing or sitting for extended periods of time
spending a lot of time on the restroom facilities
aural liaison.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF PILE.

Painful swelling or a lump near the anus

MEDICAL TREATMENT.

In cases where the symptoms are severe, piles may necessitate treatment or even surgery.

Internal and exterior piles are treated differently.

Internal hemorrhoids in grades one and two are typically treated with medication and a planned diet of fibrous, non-spicy foods. The doctors might also recommend a topical treatment in some circumstances.

Internal hemorrhoids in grade three can also be treated with medication and a diet change, but if the symptoms are severe, surgery may be necessary. Internal piles in grade four necessitate quick surgical intervention, especially if gangrenous tissue is discovered.

Your doctor can advise hemorrhoid treatments or ice packs to treat external piles and minimize swelling. If the condition is very serious, the doctor might advise surgery, which might involve:

elimination of hemorrhoids

burning piles-affected tissue with an infrared photo, a laser, or electrical coagulation

Sclerotherapy is used to get rid of the piles-causing varicose veins.

Home Remedies.

1.Half a teaspoon of fresh ginger juice mixed with one teaspoon each of fresh lime juice and a tablespoon of honey to be taken twice daily is an effective remedy for the pile.

2. Onions For Piles Treatment

If bleeding pile, thirty grams of Onions should be crushed and the juice extract.

Foods To Eat

Hemorrhoids can be prevented and eased by eating foods high in fiber, such as pulses (beans, lentils, and chickpeas), whole fruits and vegetables, with a high skin-to-flesh ratio and water content, and whole grains.
