According to the experts, somewhere between 40 and 75 percent of adults will one day suffer from hemorrhoids, also known as ‘piles’.

Hemorrhoids, also called ‘piles’, is an inflammation of the veins in and around the anus and/or rectum. They’re like varicose veins in the arms or legs except they afflict a hidden part of the body. What causes them isn’t exactly clear, but some types of people are more common sufferers. Pregnant women, for example, or people who do a lot of sitting often fall victim. It’s a common complaint among truck drivers and computer programmers.
There are two classifications of this condition, also familiarly known as ‘piles’. The internal variety are located within the anus and commonly cause bleeding to occur at the end of a bowel movement. This may or may not be accompanied by pain, and there will usually be some noticeable irritation and itching. Sometimes they will elongate and can actually be seen coming out of the anal canal.
