Piles ( Mulvyadh / Bavasir ), clinically known as Hemorrhoids, is the swelling of the blood vessels near the anal opening. An increased pressure on these blood vessels due to any reason, causes them to enlarge and swell, thus forming lumps which are occasionally felt at the anal opening. Causes Of Piles Constipation - Most common cause Hard stools/ Straining during bowel movement Faulty toilet habits ( sitting on the toilet for a long time ex. reading ) Family history Pregnancy and childbirth Lifting heavy weights Obesity Symptoms Of Piles Painless bleeding while passing stools Feeling a lump outside the anus Pruritus ani or itching around the anus Faecal soiling of undergarments If a blood clot forms in the haemorrhoid ( Thrombosed haemorrhoid ) it leads to a severely painful swelling which worsens with bowel movement and sitting.
