Hemorrhoids commonly, also known as Piles, is caused when normal veins in the lower rectum and anus, get inflamed and swollen resulting in discomfort like itching, pain and even bleeding during bowel movements. They not just internal (inside the rectum) but can also be external (under the skin around the anus). The common reason that cause piles can be constipation, straining during bowel movements, sitting for long periods, pregnancy and low intake of dietary fiber.

Early detection of pile can be easily managed by sitz bath (warm water bath), including dietary changes like intake of higher fiber and fluids or over the counter creams. Beside this also help faster recovery and avoid recurrence. However, if it gets severe or persistent treatments like rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or even surgical removal (hemorrhoidectomy) may be the option.
