What Is Piles ?
The word hemorrhoid is derived from the Greek word “hemorrhoids,” meaning veins liable to discharge blood. It is commonly seen in the age group of 45-65 years. Piles are hemorrhoids swollen inside and around the lining of your buttocks or anal lining. They usually get better on their own after a few days. There are several ways for the prevention and treatment of hemorrhoids. Piles are swollen veins in the lower anus and rectum. This swelling can cause localized inflammation of other tissues. Piles is another term for hemorrhoids./p>
Why do you get piles? Piles develop when the veins in your anal canal become swollen, which may happen for a number of reasons, including straining when you go to the toilet, getting older, a persistent cough and lifting heavy objects.
Treatment for piles (hemorrhoids) includes lifestyle changes like a high-fiber diet and increased water intake. Over-the-counter creams, ointments, and suppositories can alleviate symptoms. In more severe cases, medical procedures like rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or surgery might be necessary. Consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended for proper guidance.
