Haemorrhoids, or piles, are swollen veins in the anal canal and rectum. Haemorrhoids can be external (occuring outside the anal verge) or internal (occuring inside the rectum). Symptoms of piles include swelling, pain, itching, irritation, and bright red blood. Piles or haemorrhoids are thought to be caused by excessive straining during bowel movements; often due to constipation.
Factors such as increased fluid intake, more exercise, and eating high fibre diets are thought to help prevent the development of haemorrhoids.
