Understanding the Types of Piles: Expert read more Insights by Dr. Sunny Agarwal
Piles, often known as hemorrhoids, are a frequent yet misinterpreted medical condition affecting countless individuals on a global scale. These inflamed capillaries in the lower digestive tract and posterior region lead to pain, interfering with everyday functions.
From mild discomfort to severe pain, piles diverge in category and severity. The esteemed Dr. Sunny is an expert in treating piles with cutting-edge techniques, such as Chembur-based laser piles therapy. In this guide, we’ll dive into the categories of piles, their indications, causes, and reliable solutions provided at Dr. Agarwal’s renowned Piles Clinic.
What Exactly are Piles?
Piles are inflamed capillaries in the lower rectum triggered by elevated tension, extended periods of immobility, irregular bowel movements, or other factors. While piles are not life-threatening, they can greatly affect overall well-being.
Piles are generally grouped into internal and external types, each presenting distinct symptoms for individuals affected. For those looking for in-depth knowledge, medical assessment, and effective management, Dr. Sunny Agarwal delivers holistic support with advanced treatment protocols.
How Many Types of Piles Exist?
When discussing piles categories, they are broadly grouped into two main varieties:
1. **Internal Piles**
Present in the inner anal region, these hemorrhoids are commonly without discomfort because they develop in non-sensitive regions. However, they may cause rectal discharge, falling out of the anal opening, or unease during bowel movements.
Internal piles are subdivided into levels:
- **Grade 1:** Small swellings inside the rectum that may go unnoticed.
- **Grade 2:** Bulges that emerge while passing stools but returns inside automatically.
- **Grade 3:** Bulges that need pushing back to push it back.
- **Grade 4:** Severely protruding hemorrhoids that require medical intervention.
2. **External Piles**
Located externally, external hemorrhoids are surrounded by tissue and can cause irritation, soreness, and major unease. External piles are typically more sensitive.
If a blood clot forms inside an external pile, it becomes thrombosed, leading to excruciating discomfort and inflammation.
Most individuals experience either of these two types, sufferers sometimes suffer from a dual presence of both in advanced conditions. Discussing surgical interventions during a consultation can offer clearer diagnosis.
