Piles (Hemorrhoids)
Piles occur when the blood vessels inside or around the anus become swollen. Long-term constipation, excessive straining during bowel movements, lack of fibre in the diet, and prolonged sitting are the main causes. Early-stage piles can often be relieved with medication and lifestyle changes; for more advanced cases, laser treatment is the most effective option.
