Hemorrhoids, commonly known as piles, are bulging veins located in the lower anus and rectum. These containers’ walls get irritable when they are stretched. Although hemorrhoids can be uncomfortable and painful, they are readily treated and completely avoidable. Because hemorrhoids tend to worsen with time, doctors recommend that they be treated as soon as they emerge.
Hemorrhoids in a Nutshell

Here are some important facts concerning hemorrhoids.
•    While pregnant, women are more prone to get hemorrhoids.
•    As a person matures, the probability of acquiring hemorrhoids increases.
•    Hemorrhoids develop when the veins around the anus become engorged or swollen.
•    Hemorrhoids are sometimes treated with medications and surgery.
The following methods can be used to alleviate symptoms. They will not, however, remove the hemorrhoids:
•    Creams and ointments for the skin: Hydrocortisone-containing over-the-counter (OTC) creams and suppositories can be purchased online. There are other pads that may be placed to the skin that contain witch hazel or a numbing ingredient.
•    Cold compresses and ice packs: Applying them to the afflicted region may reduce swelling.
•    Warm water for a sitz bath: Over the toilet, a sitz bath is placed.
•    Analgesics: Pain relievers such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen may be used to ease pain and discomfort.

Medicines.
•    The majority of hemorrhoid medications are available over-the-counter. Ointments, pads, and suppositories are examples of these.
•    Itching and soreness are known to be relieved by active substances such as hydrocortisone and witch hazel. Consult a doctor if these medications do not provide benefits after one week of treatment.
•    Options for nonsurgical therapy
•    Rubber band ligation is the most popular nonsurgical hemorrhoid eradication procedure.
•    An elastic band is inserted on the base of the hemorrhoid to block off blood flow in this outpatient surgery for internal hemorrhoids. Either the hemorrhoid will diminish or fall off.
•    Another procedure is sclerotherapy, where a solution is injected into an internal hemorrhoid. This produces a scar that cuts off blood supply to the hemorrhoid.
•    Infrared photocoagulation and electrocoagulation are two other options.

Surgical options.
•    A hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure that removes all of the hemorrhoids.
•    Stapling, in which a prolapsed hemorrhoid is stapled back into place, may also be used. These treatments are conducted under general anesthesia, and most patients are able to return home the same day.

Causes.
1.    Hemorrhoids are caused by an enlargement of the veins around the anus.
2.    They can happen for a variety of causes, including:
3.    Pregnancy: They are more prevalent in pregnant women because the uterus pulls against the vein in the colon, causing it to protrude.
4.    Hemorrhoids are most frequent in people between the ages of 45 and 65. This is not to say that young people and children do not receive them.
5.    Diarrhea: Hemorrhoids can develop as a result of prolonged diarrhea.
6.    Chronic constipation: Straining to pass feces puts additional strain on the blood vessel walls.
7.    Sitting for an extended period of time: Sitting for an extended amount of time, particularly on the toilet, can result in hemorrhoids.
8.    Hemorrhoids can be caused by repeatedly lifting heavy things.
9.    Anal intercourse: This might result in new hemorrhoids or exacerbate existing ones.
10.    Obesity: Obesity caused by a poor diet might result in hemorrhoids.
11.    Genetics: Some persons are predisposed to developing hemorrhoids.
12.    Hemorrhoids frequently cause the following symptoms:
13.    The bleeding is painless.
14.    Irritation or itchiness in the anal region
15.    Discomfort, discomfort, or ache in the same location
16.    Swelling and lumps in the anal area
17.    feces leaking
18.    Symptoms may be unpleasant or distressing, but they are rarely grounds for concern.
