By Dr Ashwin Porwal

Introduction

• Piles (Mulvyadh/Bavasir), clinically known as
  Haemorrhoids, is the swelling of the blood
  vessels near the anal opening. An increased
  pressure on these blood vessels due to any
  reason, causes them to enlarge and swell, thus
  forming lumps which are occasionally felt at the
  anal opening.

Causes of Piles

• Hard stools/ Straining during bowel movement
• Faulty toilet habits (sitting on the toilet for a
  long time ex. reading)
• Family history

• Lifting heavy weights
• Obesity

Symptoms Of Piles

• Painless bleeding while passing stools
• Feeling a lump outside the anus
• Pruritus ani or itching around the anus
• Faecal soiling of undergarments
• If a blood clot forms in the haemorrhoid
  (Thrombosed haemorrhoid ) it leads to a severely
  painful swelling which worsens with bowel
  movement and sitting.
