Piles is one of the commonest diseases throughout the world. It is estimated that about half of the adult population suffers from piles at some time in their lives. The

incidence appears to be increasing, possibly because of better diagnostic facilities and growing affluence.

The disease has been recognized since ancient times; it was described by Hippocrates (460-377 BC) who devised a number of helpful treatments for piles including the application of warm olive oil, the preparation now known as suppositories. More recently (1839) it was Sir William Lawrence who first used the term "hemorrhoids" to describe piles.

What are the symptoms?

The most common symptom is bright red blood on your stools or toilet paper. Sometimes you may see only very small traces of blood. Other symptoms are itching around the anus and pain in your anal area, which may be worse when you have a bowel movement. If the piles bleed, you may feel faint or dizzy because you lose a lot of blood.

What are the main types of piles?

Internal hemorrhoids. These are found inside your body, so they can't be seen. They do not usually cause pain or bleeding.

It is only when they become very large that you may notice them bulging out around the end of your anus when you have a bowel movement. If they bleed it is usually externally which can be very painful.

Internal hemorrhoids are further classified as: a) protruding, seen outside the anus but not involving the anal canal;

b) prolapsed, seen inside the anal canal but still attached to the body at their origin; c) strangulated, where blood supply is cut off or obstructed by a hard stool; and d) incarcerated, where the pile is trapped inside an anatomical sphincter (the external anal sphincter or the internal anal sphincter).

External hemorrhoids. These are found outside your body and can be easily seen. They cause pain but do not usually bleed.

They are sometimes confused with skin tags, but skin tags do not contain any veins. However, skin tags around the anus can be mistaken for piles.

External hemorrhoids are further classified as: a) simple - when you have just one at the anal opening; and b) complex - when you have more than one pile in the anal region.

Conclusion In general, people with piles tend to have a better outlook on life than those who have other bowel problems because piles are not dangerous or life threatening. However, it is best if you can prevent them from recurring. This may mean regular exercise and a change in your diet. You should also get Piles Treatment in Mumbai for any constipation or diarrhea that you may have.
