Piles / Fissure
Piles are hemorrhoids that become inflamed. Hemorrhoids are masses, clumps, cushions of tissue in the anal canal - they are full of blood vessels, support tissue, muscle and elastic fibers.
Although hemorrhoids are thought of as unpleasant inflammations, we all have them. It is when the hemorrhoid cushions become too big (inflamed) that problems occur - when this happens they are called piles or pathological hemorrhoids.
Piles can be of various sizes and may be internal (inside the anus) or external ones (outside the anus). Typically, internal piles occur from 2 to 4cm above the opening of the anus. External piles (perianal hematoma) occur on the outside edge of the anus. The internal ones are much more common.
Symptoms
- Pain while defecating
- A hard lump may be felt around the anus. It consists of coagulated blood, called a thrombosed external hemorrhoid. This can be painful
- After going to the toilet, a feeling that the bowels are still full
- Blood after a bowel movement
- Itchiness around the anus
- The area around the anus may be red and sore
- Mucus discharge when emptying the bowels
Causes
The blood vessels around the anus and in the rectum will stretch under pressure and may swell or bulge. Inflamed veins (hemorrhoids) can develop when pressure increases in the lower rectum. This may be due to:
- Chronic constipation
- Chronic diarrhea
- Lifting heavy weights
- Pregnancy
- Itchiness around the anus
- Straining when passing a stool
The tendency to develop hemorrhoids may also be inherited. The risk of developing piles grows with age.
