Yes: Piles, or hemorrhoids, are swollen and inflamed veins in your anus and lower rectum and result from straining during bowel movements or pressure during pregnancy or sitting. Many effective options are available to treat hemorrhoids. Most people can get relief from symptoms using home treatments (sitz baths, pads containing witchhazel) and lifestyle changes (fiber, stool softeners).
