PILE
Piles are swollen veins in the lower part of the a**s and re**um.When the walls of these vessels are stretched,they become irritated.
Piles is another name for hemorrhoids.Hemorrhoids are collections of inflamed tissue in the a**l ca**l.They contain blood vessels,support tissues,muscles,and elastic fibers.
CAUSES OF PILE
Enlargement of the veins around the a**s causes hemorrhoids.They can occur for the following reasons:
*PREGNANCY:They occur more commonly in the pregnant women because,as the uterus enlarges,it presses on the vein in the colon,causing it to bulge.
*AGING: Hemorrhoids are most common among adults.
*DIARRHEA: Hemorrhoids can occur after cases of chronic diarrhea.
*CHRONIC CONSTIPATION: Straining to move stool puts additional pressure on the walls of the blood vessels.
*HEAVY LIFTING: Repeatedly lifting heavy objects can lead to Hemorrhoids.
*A**L INTERCOURSE:This can cause new Hemorrhoids or worsen existing ones.
*OBESITY:Die-related,obesity can cause Hemorrhoids.
*GENETICS:Some poeple inherit tendency to develop Hemorrhoids.
SYMPTOMS OF HEMORRHOIDS
Symptoms of Hemorrhoids often include:
*Painless bleeding
*Itching or irritation in the a**l area
*Discomfort,pain,or soreness in the same area
*Lumps and swelling in the a**l region.
Symptoms can be relieved I'm the following ways:
*Topical cream and ointments
*Ice packs and cold compresses: Applying these to the affected area would help with the swelling.
*A sitz using warm water.
*Moist towelettes.
*Analgesics which would help reduce the pain and discomfort.
TYPES OF PILES
Hemorrhoids can either be Internal or External
*Internal Hemorrhoids:Internal hemorrhoids are deep inside the re**um and not visible from outside.
*External Hemorrhoids are under the skin around the a**s and are therefore visible.
PREVENTION OF PILES
The risk of developing hemorrhoids is greatly reduced when stools are kept soft.This can be of help in the following ways;
*NUTRITION:Eating plenty of foods rich in fibers,such as fruits and vegetables as well as whole grains.Deinking plenty of fluids(water) helps stools soft.
AVOIDING OVER STRAINING:When using the toilets,try not to strain.This creates pressure in the veins in the lower re**um.
*GOING TO THE TOILET WHEN NEEDED:People should not wait if they need to use the toilet .The longer they wait,the drier the stools will be.
*PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: Physical activity also helps stool move through the bowel.
*MAINTAINING A HEALTHY BODY WEIGHT:Being overweight significantly raises the risk of hemorrhoids.
