Piles / Hemorrhoids

General Info about Piles

RSS Feeds      Text 
Piles are abnormally enlarged and dilated blood vessels ( mainly veins) around the back passage or anus. Piles are also known as "hemorrhoids".Hemorrhoids occur in both men and women most often between the ages of 20 and 50.


"Its no rare thing, for the Haemorrhoidal Veins, to be distended, and Even Corroded, by the Resort of a Blood full of Acrimony thither. A grievous pain accompanies it; with an Inflammation. And oftentimes a Flux of pure Blood follow. The Seat of it, in the Parts of Dishonour, which can't be mentioned among people of any Breeding without a sort of Blush, seems to oblige the Sufferer unto Self-Abasement."

-Cotton Mather, 1724

I have used this simple acupressure technique on the palm to heal from hemorrhoids. It's simple to try at any place. People who were advised surgery also got benefitted and are leading normal life. Locate the most painful point on or near the web between your middle and ring finger of your either hand and massage it for 1 to 2 minutes.

go and visit the doctor.If you have prolapsed piles then it may need surgery.Eat high-fiber diet.If you are suffering from constipation then you must drink plenty of water.Don't eat spicy food.Piles is easily curable.Have faith in god.

While growing up, I was led to believe that piles was a cold you could get in your buttocks. This is the first time that I have heard it referenced to hemrrhoids.Can anybody tell me what it is like to get cold in your back?

It could be an acute cystitis Yo,or some infection ,maybe you need some antibiotics like norofloxacin ,you should go right away to the doctor and have an urine analysis or in extrene case a cystoscopy ,it doesn't hurt at all I had it [I am 18],and if there is anything the doctor can fix it instantly .

Hi Amit
i dont think that you have piles , but possibility is there becoz It might will be starting phase.If you had constipation history then it will be treatable without surgery.in constipation your stool will become hard,due to this anal had some wounds which bleeds sometime.Drink lots of water,diet full with fibre and green vegetables.
