Haemorrhoids commonly known as Piles are swollen or dilated veins in the lower part of the rectum and anus that cause discomfort or sometimes bleed due to pressure. They are produced due to increased pressure over the veins in the lower rectum due to prolonged sitting, long standing constipation, increased body heat, decreased intake of fibre rich food, increased intake of foods made with refined flour etc. The pressure causes the veins in the rectum to dilate or swell leading to a disease called Haemorrhoids or Piles.
