One of the uneasy and uncomfortable conditions is piles. Piles are collections of inflamed veins in the anus or rectum, that cause discomfort and bleeding. Haemorrhoids is another term used for it. Usually, it is caused by straining during bowel movements, obesity, or pregnancy. The inflamed tissue has a range of sizes, and they may be internal or external. Internal piles are located between 2 to 4 cm above the opening of the anus. External piles occur on the edge outside of the anus. Internal piles are the more common type. Piles aren't always visible, but when they expand they look like red or discolored bumps or lumps.

Piles are quite common. At least three of every four adults, but it is necessary to see a doctor if your hemorrhoids are causing you pain or disrupting your bowel movements and normal activities. There are 4 different types of hemorrhoids:

1) Internal
2) External
3) Prolapsed
4) Thrombosed

Prolapsed and thrombosed hemorrhoids are much more likely to increase your risk of complications. External piles form small lumps on the outside edge of the anus. If a blood clot develops, they're very itchy and can become painful. Hemorrhoids are graded on a scale from 1 to 4. At grades 3 or 4, surgery may be necessary.
