WHAT ARE PILES?
Data reveals that 3 out of 4 adults will have piles over their lifetime. A common problem, piles/hemorrhoids/ बवासीर/ હરસ-મસા રોગ, is a collection of swollen, inflamed, or enlarged blood vessels and veins in the anal region. Often the inflamed tissue causes itchiness and discomfort to the patient, especially while sitting down and passing bowels. It also leads to blood in stools.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF PILES?
Bleeding stools and discomfort are only a few symptoms and signs of the occurrence of piles. Many other symptoms can indicate the piles problem:
- Lumps, itchiness, and pain around the anal region.
- Urgent feeling of passing the stool, even after emptying your bowels.
- Mucus discharge, pus, or blood in the toilet.
- Painless bleeding during the passing of bowels.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF THE OCCURRENCE OF PILES?
The primary cause of piles or hemorrhoids is the pressure in the lower end of the rectum. When the increased pressure causes swelling and inflammation in surrounding tissues, doctors call it piles. Now, it can be due to:
- Chronic constipation and diarrhea.
- Undue strain while passing bowels.
- Lifting heavy objects.
- Pregnant women are at risk of developing the disease.
- Piles are more common in the older generation.
- Overweight individuals have higher risks of piles.
- Lack of physical activity and sedentary lifestyle.
- Diet with low fiber content.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INTERNAL PILES AND EXTERNAL PILES?
Piles or hemorrhoids can be internal or external, depending on the site of the disease.
A. INTERNAL PILES
Internal piles can occur between 2-4 centimeters above the anal opening, inside the rectum. Often, internal piles or hemorrhoids do not cause any discomfort to the patient. However, they can bleed and lead to blood in stools. If they become uncomfortably enlarged, they can cause trouble while moving bowels. When extreme straining, especially while passing bowels, childbirth, heavy lifting, etc., pushes the internal hemorrhoids out of the anus, piles doctors call it prolapsed hemorrhoids.
B. EXTERNAL PILES
External piles occur under the skin around the anus and cause immense pain and sensitivity. The symptoms of external piles include pain, itching, swelling, bleeding, and general discomfort. Sometimes, they become unbearable because of blood clots, leading to thrombosis or thrombosed piles/hemorrhoids.
It is essential to note that prolapsed internal hemorrhoids can lead to thrombosis if it affects the blood supply to hemorrhoids.
WHAT ARE THE FOUR TYPES OF PILES?
Medical professionals categorize piles into four different types to ensure adequate treatment according to the complexity of the disease.
1. Grade I Piles: First-degree piles may bleed, but they do not come out of the anal region (i.e., Internal Piles). So, they are not visible.
2. Grade II Piles: Second-degree piles are bigger than Grade I hemorrhoids. They remain inside the rectum but can be pushed out when passing stools.
3. Grade III Piles: GI surgeons call prolapsed hemorrhoids Grade III hemorrhoids. A patient can insert them back.
4. Grade IV Piles: When the enlarged blood vessels cannot be pushed back and require medical treatment, doctors call them Grade IV piles.
