Piles Symptoms

Hemorrhoids, also known as 'piles' are actually inflamed veins, much like varicose veins. Piles symptoms generally include itching, burning, rectal pain (especially during bowel movements) and sometimes bleeding. Bleeding is typically a sign of internal, rather than external hemorrhoids. A common symptom of external hemorrhoids is rectal pain.

Piles symptoms are similar to the ones found in anal fissures and fistulas, inflammatory bowel disease, rectal prolapse and colon polyps. Approximately 20% of people suffering with hemorrhoids also have anal fissures. Bleeding, rectal pain and changes in your normal bowel habits can also be signs of colon, anal or rectal cancer, so changes in any of those areas should not be dismissed or taken too lightly.

At the same time though, having piles symptoms doesn't mean you're destined for the operating room. Depending on the severity of the piles, you may find an all natural hemorrhoid cure that will alleviate the issue completely.

Causes of Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are caused by an increase of pressure on the veins in the rectal and pelvic area. As the pressure goes up, it causes blood to pool in the veins, making them swell. Given time, the veins swell enough to stretch the surrounding tissue, and that's when you develop piles symptoms, which lead to painful hemorrhoids.

Other causes:

• Straining during bowel movements, rushing through bowel movements, or sitting too long on the toilet. (Save your reading time for a more comfortable seat.)
• Chronic constipation or diarrhea
• Obesity, especially excess weight in the abdominal and pelvic areas
• Pregnancy and Labor - Typically, if you experience piles symptoms while pregnant, they will be alleviated once the baby is born. It's important to most women to find natural hemorrhoid treatments while they're pregnant.
• Certain medical conditions, like chronic heart disease and liver disease. These cause blood to pool in the abdominal area and pelvic region, often enlarging the veins in those areas. It's the pooling of blood that can lead to thrombosed external hemorrhoids, something you really do want to avoid if at all possible.
• Poor food quality, especially a lack of fiber.
