cases the veins burst and this results in what is known as
bleeding piles.
Pain at passing stools, slight bleeding in the case of
internal trouble, and feeling of soreness and irritation
after passing a stool are the usual symptoms of piles. The
patient cannot sit comfortably due to itching, discomfort,
and pain in the rectal region.
The primary cause of piles is chronic constipation and
