🩸 HEALTH EDUCATION: PILES (HEMORRHOIDS) 🩸

Many people experience piles but feel embarrassed to talk about them. Understanding the condition can help you know when to seek medical attention.

🔹 WHAT ARE PILES?
Piles, also called hemorrhoids, are swollen blood vessels in and around the a**s or lower re**um. They can be internal or external.

🔍 COMMON CAUSES & RISK FACTORS
Piles can develop when there is increased pressure around the veins of the a**s. Common factors include:

• Straining during bowel movements
• Chronic constipation
• Frequent or prolonged sitting on the toilet
• Low-fiber diet
• Pregnancy
• Being overweight
• Heavy lifting
• Persistent diarrhea

⚠️ COMMON SYMPTOMS
• Bright-red blood during or after passing stool
• Itching or irritation around the a**s
• Pain or discomfort, especially with external piles
• A lump or swelling around the a**s
• Mucus or irritation
• Feeling that you still need to pass stool after going

❗ POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS
When piles become severe or keep recurring, they can sometimes cause:

🩸 Repeated bleeding — persistent blood loss can occasionally contribute to anaemia.

😣 Thrombosed piles — a blood clot can form in an external hemorrhoid and cause sudden, severe pain and swelling.

🦠 Infection — uncommon, but severe pain, swelling and fever require medical attention.

😔 Reduced quality of life — ongoing pain, itching, bleeding and discomfort can interfere with work, sleep and daily activities.

🚨 IMPORTANT:
Re**al bleeding should not automatically be assumed to be piles. Other conditions can also cause bleeding.

Seek medical attention if you have heavy or persistent bleeding, severe pain, black stools, dizziness/fainting, fever, or changes in your bowel habits.

🌿 Don't suffer in silence because of embarrassment. Get the right assessment and care.
