Early diagnosis leads to easier treatment. In India, many patients ignore painless bleeding until the condition worsens. Knowing what to look for can save you from surgery.
The most common sign. You may notice drops of bright red blood or a 'splash' in the toilet bowl during bowel movements. It is usually not painful.
Fleshy lumps that come out of the anus during defecation. In early stages, they go back in automatically; later, they may need to be pushed in manually.
Persistent itching around the anal region (Pruritus Ani) caused by mucus discharge or moisture from the prolapsed hemorrhoids.
While internal piles are often painless, you may feel heaviness or a sense that the bowel hasn't completely emptied.
A slimy, sticky discharge often accompanies larger hemorrhoids, which can stain undergarments and cause hygiene issues.
Pain usually occurs if the blood inside the pile clots (Thrombosed Piles) or if there is an associated Fissure.
Understanding Symptoms
"Pain is actually NOT the primary symptom of Piles. If there is severe pain, it is often a Fissure. Piles usually present with painless bleeding."
