Piles and Constipation often go hand in hand. What is so common about both piles and constipation? Inactivity is common in Haemorrhoids and Constipation. An inactive lifestyle, lack of workouts, and poor diet are the three main causes of Piles and Constipation. Piles and constipation are found in both men and women. 

Piles or Hemorrhoids (HEM-uh-roids) are swollen veins in the anus and lower rectum because of extreme pressure put on them. Hemorrhoids develop in the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin adjacent to the anus (external hemorrhoids). The general symptoms of hemorrhoid include- itch, pain, rectal fullness or lump, and bleeding. The history of related symptoms arising includes -constipation, straining to pass stool, and hard bowel movements.

Symptoms

Signs and symptoms of haemorrhoids are generally related to the type of Hemorrhoid. External haemorrhoids appear under the skin adjacent to the anus. The Signs and symptoms arise:

1. Irritation in the anal region
2. Pain and discomfort
3. Swelling around the anus
4. Bleeding

Internal Hemorrhoids

Internal hemorrhoids arise inside the rectum. You hardly see or feel them and not very discomforting. But it causes straining and irritation while passing the stool. There may be painless bleeding at the time of bowel movements. You may notice small amounts of red blood on the toilet pan. The Hemorrhoid when pushed through the anal opening (prolapsed) results in pain and irritation. In the case of Thrombosed Hemorrhoids, it forms a clot and results in:

• Swelling
• Excess pain
• Inflammation
• A hard lump near the anus

Causes of Piles & Constipation

Straining puts extreme pressure on veins of the anus or rectum giving rise to hemorrhoids. You may think of this as varicose veins affecting the bottom. Any form of straining that grows pressure on the belly or lower extremities can cause anal and rectal veins to swell and inflamed. Hemorrhoids arise due to the following reasons:

• Pelvic pressure due to weight gain, particularly during pregnancy
• Pushing hard for a bowel movement (passing of stool) for constipation
• Straining for lifting heavy objects

Piles Constipation Treatment

If the treatments at home for hemorrhoids don’t help, then you may need a medical procedure. Different procedures can be given by the doctor. There are different techniques involving scar tissue to form inside the hemorrhoids. This cuts off the blood supply and results in shrinking the hemorrhoids. In severe cases, you require surgery. Other at-home following treatments can be done:

• Eating foods rich in fiber
• Take stool softener or fiber supplement
• Drinking enough water daily
• Don’t strain during bowel movements
• Don’t sit in the toilet for long time
