Piles is a condition in which the blood vessels around the anus swell and especially while passing stools. They can have a range of sizes and can be internal or external.ย
Internal Piles- These are inside your stool, you cannot normally see or feel them. They usually don't hurt because there are fewer nerves that sense pain.ย
External piles- You will find these under the skin around your anus, where there are many pain sensing nerves.ย

- Age: older people are more likely to get them because the tissues in the anus grow weaker as you age.ย
- Genetics: If other family members have haemorrhoids like your parents, you more likely to develop piles.ย
- Pregnancy: Pregnancy increases your risk in two ways. The weight of the fetus puts extra pressure on your rectum. You are also more prone to constipation.ย
Too much sitting: A mostly sedentary lifestyle, or a job that requires you to sit for a long period of time, increases your risk. When you don't move around much, blood pools in your anus, putting pressure on the blood vessels.ย
