Understanding Piles: Know the Signs Before It Worsens

Piles — also known as hemorrhoids — are one of the most common yet misunderstood health issues affecting millions of people. Despite being highly treatable, many suffer in silence due to embarrassment or lack of awareness.

In this blog post, we’ll break down the symptoms, causes, and when to seek medical help, as explained by Dr. Neha Kashyap, an Advanced Laser Proctologist and General Surgeon practicing in Delhi & Gurgaon.


⚠️ What Are the Symptoms of Piles?

Recognizing the early signs of piles is crucial for timely treatment. If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it could indicate the presence of piles:

  • Pain during bowel movements
  • Bleeding from the anus (often seen on toilet paper or in the stool)
  • Itching or irritation around the anus
  • Lump or swelling near the anal region
  • A constant feeling of incomplete evacuation, even after using the toilet

These symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain and can affect your daily activities and emotional well-being.


🧾 What Causes Piles?

Piles typically develop due to increased pressure on the veins in the lower rectum and anus. Common contributing factors include:

  • Chronic constipation
  • Prolonged sitting or straining on the toilet
  • Low-fiber diet, leading to hard stools
  • Post-pregnancy changes due to pressure during childbirth
  • Sedentary lifestyle, which reduces bowel motility

Understanding these causes can help you make lifestyle changes that reduce your risk of developing piles in the future.


👩‍⚕️ When Should You See a Specialist?

If your symptoms persist or worsen, it’s time to consult a proctologist. Ignoring piles can lead to complications like thrombosis (clotting), chronic bleeding, or infection.

Dr. Neha Kashyap specializes in advanced laser treatment for piles — a minimally invasive, effective option that ensures faster recovery and less discomfort.

Your health deserves attention, no matter how personal the topic may seem.
