Piles, also called Haemorrhoids, can be caused due to various reasons including increased pressure in the lower rectum, chronic constipation, straining during bowel movements, prolonged sitting, pregnancy, ageing, genetic factors, heavy lifting, obesity, low-fiber diet, and others. These factors cause the veins around the anus and lower rectum to become swollen and inflamed.

The increased pressure from the growing uterus on the pelvic veins, along with hormonal changes that cause the veins to relax, can contribute to the development of haemorrhoids during pregnancy. Additionally, the straining during childbirth can also cause or worsen haemorrhoids. Outside of pregnancy, the risk factors for developing piles in women are similar to those in men, including chronic constipation, prolonged sitting, obesity, and a low-fiber diet.
While piles are generally not dangerous but they can cause significant discomfort and complications if left untreated. These complications include anaemia from chronic blood loss, a strangulated hemorrhoid (where the blood supply to an internal hemorrhoid is cut off) or infection. It's important to manage the symptoms of piles and seek immediate medical advice.

Common surgical options include Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy (stapling procedure) and laser surgery. Each method has its benefits and risks, so a healthcare provider can help determine the best option for you.
Laser piles surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to remove or shrink haemorrhoids. It is known for causing less pain and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
