Piles Home Remedies - Get Rid of Piles

People sometimes think that piles (haemorrhoids) are like varicose veins of the legs (i.e. a single vein that has become swollen). Haemorrhoids are small, blood-filled swellings caused by dilated varicose veins . When this happens, the small blood vessels within the cushion become engorged with blood, so the cushion swells up. Piles or haemorrhoids is a chronic condition refractory to treatment. The disease is mainly due to varicosity of superior and inferior rectal veins. Piles can be internal or external. External piles are painful, but do not involve much of bleeding. On the contrary, internal piles witness the release of dark blood. Around half the population of the UK will have suffered from piles at some point. They are common in all age groups from mid-teens onwards and particularly common in pregnant women. They are used in construction where the ground level strata are too weak to support a building's weight. The piles are driven or bored into the ground until they reach a specified level or resistance sufficient to support the weight of the structure above. The affected tissue is rich in blood vessels and if the veins become dilated and swollen, they may then project into the anal canal and even out of the back passage (this is called prolapse) to form visible swellings. Some people describe them as varicose veins of the anus.

Piles are incredibly common at least 50 per cent or more of people are said to have a problem at some point with them. Initially, they are located just inside the anus (internal haemorrhoids) but can sometimes protrude (external haemorrhoids). When faeces are passed, the pile may be pushed further down the anal canal to the outside, and this is called a prolapsed pile. It is a condition in which inflammation takes place in the veins around the anus or lower rectum. These may be associated with pain, bleeding, itching and feeling as if a lump or bump is hanging down. Although most people think hemorrhoids are abnormal, they are present in everyone. It is only when the hemorrhoidal cushions enlarge that hemorrhoids can cause problems and be considered abnormal or a disease. Constipation and prolonged straining when using the toilet are thought to contribute to the formation of haemorrhoids by increasing the pressure in the veins.
