Haemorrhoids are cushions of tissue which help in stool control, they function normally until they start inflaming or swelling making it hard to pass stool. When these Haemorrhoids are inflamed & cause pain they are referred to as Piles, it can be painful & prove to be very uncomfortable for the individual. Basically the veins become wider and engorged with more blood than usual, this results into growth of small swelling, technically known as Piles. It can be treated by over-the-counter medicine if diagnosis is done in early stages but for later stages(Grades) surgical removal is required.
