Hemorrhoids: Piles (hemorrhoids) are collections of tissue/veins that become inflamed and swollen. Piles occur due to chronic constipation, chronic diarrhea, lifting heavy weights, pregnancy, or straining when passing a stool. Regulating stool/ not straining will get rid of the piles. Symptom relief includes painkillers, ointments, creams, and pads, and can help soothe redness and swelling around the anus.
