The most common Piles Symptoms

 Piles Disease, Piles Symptoms

 

Piles symptoms are an alarm to the existence of pile disease which is also known as hemorrhoids. It is caused by the swelling of the veins around the anal area. This can be the result of straining during bowel movements, pregnancy and chronic constipation. This is generally a temporary problem caused mainly among adults without any discrimination of man or woman. Usually it is a temporary phase. It can be internal or external or a patient can suffer from both types at the same time.

These are some of the main Piles symptoms:
1.          Anal discharge of blood
This is one of the most common and alarming piles symptom.  Piles usually bleed after a bowel movement, and blood may be detected in the toilet or on the toilet tissue. Blood loss always seems to be the first piles symptom but in reality it is more likely to be constipation or itchiness.
2.    Itching throughout the anal area
Acute and sporadic itchiness is also known as a piles symptom. So if someone you suffer from itchiness which is more intense than normal and it doesn’t subside with rubbing then it may be the early warning signs of hemorrhoids which need to be taken care. Moreover if you currently have a very inactive lifestyle and/or little exercise, you should visit doctor immediately for a diagnosis.
3.    Burning throughout the anal area.
Another piles symptom, which is uncommon with people suffering from this disease, is burning throughout the anal area. It is also a sporadic symptom. Again, if it is not subside with rubbing than you should see the doctor to get properly investigated.
4.    Pain throughout the anal area
If you suffer from severe pain in the anal area, than this might be one of piles symptoms as well. If you suffer from pain in and around the anal area for more than 10 minutes, then you should try to do some exercises or more ideally is to go for a walk. If the pain still continues, then visit your doctor for a proper diagnosis.  
5.    Anal discharge of mucus
Another not very common piles symptom is slimy discharge of mucus which is no more severe than bleeding. While it is not as common as blood loss it should be seen as well.
6.    Constipation
This is quite often the first symptom for piles but being a very common disease in itself, it is overlooked by people as piles symptoms. Unfortunately, it’s a condition that can be brought on by any number of things – most often diet. Long standing constipation can make a person prone to develop piles.
7.    An urge to use the toilet
This piles symptom is in line with the previous symptom i.e. constipation. One may feel the urge to go to the toilet repeatedly and may not be able to pass the stools. If this persists for more than 24 hours it’s important that you consult with a doctor.
8.    Swelling around the anus
This is the most severe piles symptom and really is the last point where you can ‘catch’ piles before things go beyond limits. When Feeling uncomfortable, many people will go and see their doctor at this point. But unfortunately, through embarrassment, fear, ignorance and hesitation many more don’t do anything at all.

Piles are not an incurable disease but unfortunately, it tends to get worse over time if it’s not cured. So it should be treated as soon as it occurs.
