Know Piles
The Anal passage has a network of small veins and blood vessels. When these blood vessels get inflamed or filled with more blood, it forms a lump of tissue inside, outside or around the bottom of the anus that can vary in size and is termed as Piles or Hemorrhoids.
Factors responsible for Piles
The increased pressure or straining of the lower rectum can cause piles. This straining can be caused due to the following reasons like
- Adding pressure to pass the stool
- Lifting heavy weights occasionally
- Constipation.
- Diarrhea
- Sitting on the toilet for longer
- Obesity
- The pressure of the enlarged uterus on the rectum and anus during pregnancy.
Apart from that the low fiber diet, weakening of the anal canal due to old age and medicinal issues like colon cancer, rectal surgery and spinal cord injury can also cause piles.
How do I know if I have Piles or Not
Piles are sometimes for short term and heal themselves in less time but if it has not cured for long then you should check for the following symptoms
- You have blood in your stools which is noticeable on tissues and toilet surfaces.
- You have a slimy mucus discharge from the anus.
