Piles, or haemorrhoids, are areas in the anal canal where the tissue, which contains lots of blood vessels, has become swollen. They can be internal, occurring inside the anus, or external, when they can be seen and felt on the outside of the anus. When visible they look like round pink swellings, the size of a pea or a grape. Piles are common in pregnant women, but are rare in children.
Causes of piles:
1.Straining to empty the bowels when constipated.
2.Chronic diarrhoea.
3.Pregnancy – the weight of the fetus on the abdomen and the increased blood flow, as well as the effect of hormones on the blood vessels.
4.Childbirth – pushing during childbirth increases the pressure in the veins.
5.Straining to pass urine, especially in men with prostate problems.
6.Cancer or growths in the pelvis or bowel, which may exert pressure in a similar way to a pregnancy.
7.Family history – piles can run in families and are potentially hereditary, perhaps because of weak veins in the anal area.
8.Obesity.
9.Varicose veins – many people with these also develop piles, although piles are not varicose veins.
