Piles

Piles

Piles are a common problem that can affect anyone at any age. They are caused by increased pressure on the veins in the rectum, which can be caused by straining during bowel movements or sitting for long periods of time. Piles can cause a range of symptoms, including pain, itching, bleeding and swelling around the anus. Treatment options include lifestyle changes to reduce pressure on the veins, medications to reduce inflammation and pain relief, as well as surgery in more severe cases. It is important to seek medical advice if you think you may be suffering from piles.
