Haemorrhoids piles

Most cases of haemorrhoids can be managed by local symptomatic treatment, together with use of laxatives where necessary. 

Veins in these cushions fill with blood when sphincters inside them relax and empty when the sphincters contract. Any obstruction, such as constipation, may cause congestion and result in hypertrophy. Persistent straining, usually due to constipation, causes the cushions to prolapse and become enlarged. These prolapsed pads are haemorrhoids. 

Internal haemorrhoids cannot be felt outside the body, although there are other symptoms. 

External piles protrude below the anus they may descend during defecation and shrink back again spontaneously, they may protrude and be able to be pushed back again with a finger, or they may stay descended. 

It can cause sufferers to Ignore the urge to defecate, leading to a vicious circle of constipation and increasing pain. Normal sitting down can become uncomfortable or painful.
