Haemorrhoids
are swollen veins in the rectum, anus and lower rectum according to the Piles Doctor in Thane. They
commonly cause pain, discomfort and itching around the anal opening.
Haemorrhoids can be internal or external. Internal haemorrhoids do not protrude
outside of the body but they can still be painful because they are covered by
delicate tissue. External haemorrhoids protrude from the anus either partially
or completely and tend to contain harder tissue than internal haemorrhoids.
Symptoms
of piles
•
Bleeding during bowel movements is often an early sign of haemorrhoids.
However, bleeding may also indicate other more serious conditions such as anal
fissure, colorectal cancer (colon cancer), polyps (small benign growths) or
colitis (inflammation of the colon, which is also known as ulcerative colitis
and Crohn's disease). Seek immediate medical advice if you notice blood
associated with bowel movements.
•
Pain around the anus during or after a bowel movement. Haemorrhoids may be
inside your body or protrude through an opening in your anus muscles called the
anal sphincter.
•
Itching around the anus. This may be due to irritating bowel movements,
haemorrhoids or another condition such as atopic dermatitis (eczema).

Treatment
•
A high-fibre diet may help to prevent haemorrhoids. However, you should talk
with Piles Doctor in Thane before
increasing your intake of fibre or other dietary changes, because these changes
can sometimes make constipation worse. If you do not have enough fibre in your
diet, a health care professional may recommend a fibre supplement (such as
Citrucel).
•
Warm sitz baths are often recommended for the treatment of haemorrhoids. These
bath water remedies involve sitting in lukewarm water to relieve pain and speed
healing of haemorrhoids. Sitz baths are also useful if itching is a problem.
•
Over-the-counter creams, suppositories or anaesthetics are available to relieve
external haemorrhoid pain and itching.
•
If you have an acute attack of pain or itching, your doctor may inject a
steroid medication (corticosteroid) around the anus to help decrease
inflammation. This treatment is usually effective if other therapies are not
providing relief. However, this treatment should be used only when absolutely
necessary because the drug can weaken tissue in and around the anal area,
causing tearing or rectal prolapse (a condition in which part of the inner wall
of the bowel protrudes through the anus).
Piles
Treatment Without Surgery
Surgery
for haemorrhoids is not recommended unless all conservative nonsurgical
treatments fail to control symptoms by the Piles Specialist Doctor in Mumbai.
Haemorrhoidectomy (the surgical removal of hemorrhoidal tissue) is highly
effective but there are risks associated with general anaesthesia and the
surgery itself.
