Piles (Hemorrhoids): Causes, Symptoms & Best Treatment Options

Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are a very common health condition that affects people of all ages. They occur when the veins in the lower rectum or anus become swollen, leading to pain, discomfort, and sometimes bleeding.

Many people ignore piles due to hesitation or fear, but early understanding and treatment can help you recover quickly and avoid complications.

Piles (Hemorrhoid)

What are exactly Piles?​

Piles are swollen or enlarged blood vessels in the anal area, similar to varicose veins.

  • Internal piles (internal hemorrhoids) develop inside the rectum and are not visible from outside. In most cases, they do not cause pain, but they may lead to bleeding during bowel movements, which is often the first sign people notice. Many patients ignore this early symptom, but timely treatment can prevent the condition from worsening.
  • External piles (external hemorrhoids) develop around the outer area of the anus and are visible from outside. They often cause pain, swelling, itching, and discomfort, especially while sitting or passing stool. In some cases, a small lump can be felt, which may become painful if not treated on time.
👉 “Understanding the type of piles is the first step towards choosing the right treatment.

Types of Piles

Internal piles

Internal Piles

Internal piles develop inside the rectum and are not visible from outside. Since this area has fewer pain-sensitive nerves, they are usually painless in the early stages. Most people notice them only when they experience bleeding during bowel movements, which is often ignored but should not be.

  • Usually painless but may cause bleeding during stool
  • Not visible externally, so often goes unnoticed
  • Can worsen over time if not treated early

External piles

External piles form around the outer area of the anus and are visible or can be felt as a lump. These are more uncomfortable compared to internal piles because they affect the outer skin, which is sensitive. Daily activities like sitting or passing stool can become painful.

  • Cause pain, swelling, and itching
  • Visible or felt as a lump near the anus
  • Discomfort increases while sitting or during bowel movements

Thrombosed Piles

Thrombosed piles occur when a blood clot forms inside an external pile, making the condition more severe. This leads to increased pressure and inflammation, resulting in intense pain and a hard swelling. Immediate attention is usually required to relieve symptoms.

  • Severe pain due to blood clot formation
  • Hard, swollen lump near the anus
  • May require quick medical treatment for relief
