Haemorrhoids

Haemorrhoids are swollen veins located around the anus or in the lower rectum. The half of adults have experienced the symptoms of hemorrhoids by the age of 50. Haemorrhoids can either be internal or external. Internal haemorrhoids develop within the anus or rectum. External hemorrhoids develop outside of the anus. Haemorrhoids are also known as piles.

Internal piles are divided into four grades:

Grade 1 Piles are small swellings on the inside lining of the anus. They cannot be seen or felt from outside the anus.

Grade 2 Pilesare partly pushed out (prolapse) from the anus when you go to the toilet, but quickly ‘retract back’ inside again.

Grade 3 Piles hang out (prolapse) from the anus and are felt as one or more small, soft lumps that hang from the anus. However, they can be pushed back inside the anus with a finger.

Grade 4 Pilesare permanently hang down from within the anus, and cannot be pushed back inside. They can sometimes become quite large.

How to diagnose Piles?

A visual examination of anus may be enough to diagnose haemorrhoids. To confirm the diagnosis, doctor may wish to do a different examination to check for any abnormalities within the anus. This check is known as a digital rectal exam. During this exam, doctor inserts a gloved and lubricated finger into your rectum. If they feel anything abnormal, they may order an additional test called a sigmoidoscopy. A sigmoidoscopy involves doctor using a small camera to diagnose an internal haemorrhoids. This small fiber-optic camera, called a sigmoidoscope, fits into a small tube and then inserts into rectum. From this test, doctor gets a clear view of the inside of rectum so that they can examine the haemorrhoids up close.
