New Treatment of Piles

WHEN located outside the anal opening, its swelling can result to skin irritation that can be painful, and prone to ruptures.

When the swelling is located inside, pain is seldom experienced. But when it grows disproportionately large it goes out of the rectum, oftentimes painfully, and in some cases accompanied with bleeding. Just what are we talking about? Most of us call this condition as hemorrhoids (Visayan, almoranas). Actually, hemorroids are also called piles, wrote S. Lorenzo-Rivero in the August 2009 American Journal of Surgery.

Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the lower rectum. Its most common signs and symptoms are itching, anal masses, rectal pain, or rectal bleeding. Internal piles become suspect when bright red blood can be found covering the stool, in toilet paper, or in the toilet bowl itself.
