What are Hemorrhoids or Piles ?

The condition is caused by a dilatation of rectal veins within the anal canal . This causes lumps to form inside the back passage and on the surface of the anus. The medical term for piles is hemorrhoids. Compared to arteries veins are weak due to their thin walls and hence any pressure build up in the veins can make them painful.

There are three rectal veins and they are called the superior, middle and inferior rectal veins. Any obstructions or increase of pressure in these veins can pre-dispose a person to hemorrhoids.

There are two types of piles or hemorrhoids.

External and Internal

1) External :- This type of pile is seen outside the anal opening and is covered by skin. It is black or brown in colour and are often very painful due to abundant nerve supply in this area.

2) Internal :- These hemorrhoids are inside the anal canal and internal to the anal orifice. They are covered by mucous membrane and are red or purple in colour. These piles or hemorrhoids are usually painless.

One of the reasons for being affected with the condition is that they are thought to be hereditary
Piles are only seen in animals that have an erect posture. So it is thought that they are brought about because of congestion in the rectal veins due to the effect of gravity.

Individuals who suffer from chronic constipation or who need to visit the toilet a lot to pass a stool often develop hemorrhoids.

What food you eat can also be a contributory factor as the problem is common in those who eat a lot of chicken, prawns and spicy food.

Some women during pregnancy have compression of rectal veins by the uterus, which then can lead to piles.

Cancerous lesions in the rectum can obstruct blood flow and result in piles.


Piles or hemorroids are fairly simple to diagnose. Your medical professional will simply perform a routine manual examination of the anus and back passage to determine whether the condition present.

Signs and symptoms to look out for yourself :-

1) Pain :-

Pain is common in external hemorrhoids which will be made worse while straining when passing a stool.

2) Bleeding :-

Bleeding around the anus is common while passing a stool and may be heavy in some cases.


3) Protruding mass :-

In external piles the swelling can be felt around the anal orifice. While in case of internal piles initially it cannot be felt. When the condition first appears the hemorroids protrude during tha activity of passing a stool and will go inside automatically. As the condition becomes worse the protruding piles will not go back in to the anus.

4) In some cases there will be discharge of mucus with itching around the anal orifice.


The medical complications of hemorrhoids or piles are :--

1 Infection: The infection can spread to deep veins resulting in septicaemia.

2 Fibrosis: Here the piles become fibrosed with hardening of anal orifice.

3 Thrombosis: Here the blood inside the piles will form clots and can obstruct blood flow.

4 Gangrene: Here the tissues in the piles and nearby skin die due to lack of blood supply.

5 Suppuration: When the piles suppurate it can produce abscess with discharge of pus.
