Piles

Wikipedia defines it as: “Piles are swelling and inflammation of veins in the rectum and anus. The anatomical term "hemorrhoids" technically refers to "'Cushions of tissue filled with blood vessels at the junction of the rectum and the anus." However, the term is popularly used to refer to varicosities of the hemorrhoid tissue”. Basically, it is varicose veins in your anus. Either way you define piles the results are the same. An embarrassing condition that is uncomfortable at best and unbearably painful at worst.

There are two types of piles- Internal piles and external piles. The internal variety are found higher up the rectum and may initially cause painless bleeding, can become more severe, eventually prolapsing (bulging) outside the anal opening. External piles protrude at the entrance to the anus. Piles that prolapsed externally cause itching, swelling, pain, and bleeding.

Bleeding from the rectal area doesn’t always mean you have piles. Whether the bleeding is accompanied by pain or not assuming you are dealing with piles is not always the correct assumption. Check with your doctor if you are unsure.

One piles treatment for those who experience piles would be to lye down. When a person is standing, the pressure in your piles increases, and thus the swelling increases. Resting while reclining can relieve some of the pain. Almost as bad as standing is sitting for long periods while suffering from piles.

Any straining aggravates the piles. Someone suffering with piles should avoid:  becoming constipated, heavy lifting, shivering, coughing, heavy laughter. These can increase the pressure the hemorrhoidal veins thus aggravating the symptoms.

Another piles treatment is to do everything to avoid becoming constipated. Eating food that is high in fiber and drinking plenty of fluids will help.

If you are suffering with prolapsing internal piles or external piles, you should avoid excessive cleansing of the anal area with soap and water. By doing so you remove essential natural oils from the skins surface in the area and increases friction when you move or walk. Keep the anal area lubricated. Anusol or Vaseline may be used. An easy piles treatment is to use facial tissue with lotion in it for wiping.
