What are the symptoms of piles (hemorrhoids)?

Many anorectal problems, including fissures, fistulae, abscesses, or irritation and itching, also called pruritus ani, have similar symptoms and are incorrectly referred to as hemorrhoids.

Piles (hemorrhoids) usually are not dangerous or life threatening. In most cases, hemorrhoidal symptoms will go away within a few days. Although many people have piles, not all experience symptoms.

• The main symptoms of piles are swelling and irritation in or around the rectum. Pain, itching, and bleeding also occur while passing stools.
• Bleeding from the anus is a common symptom in severe piles. The blood is bright red and not mixed with stools.
• It occurs from local injury to the dilated blood vessels of the rectum.
• Some patients may complain of rectal fullness, mucus discharge, and prolapse of the pile mass.
