Disease/Condition Glossary
Haemorrhoids: They are also known as piles, a medical condition that occurs when veins present in the anus and rectum area (the last part of the large intestine that ends up in the anus) swell and become painful. Piles can be either internal or external. Internal haemorrhoids occur within the rectum; as the rectum area has fewer pain receptors, it is less troublesome and painful. External haemorrhoids occur at the outside of the anus and are most painful. Some of the common symptoms of haemorrhoids are itching, pain, swelling, and trouble sitting. If proper treatment is not provided at the right time, haemorrhoids become irritated and cause bleeding.
