Piles (hemorrhoids) are common swellings that form inside and around the anal canal. There is a huge network of small veins within the lining of the anal canal. These veins sometimes become wider with more blood than usual. As a result, the swollen veins and overlying tissue may develop into one or more swellings (piles).

Piles can be classified into two main types based on their location within the rectum and where the swollen veins form. The types include:
Internal piles
Internal piles form inside the anal canal but might hang down and come out of the anus. They are graded based on the location within the rectum and where the swollen vein develops.
External piles
External piles are swellings that grow further down the anal canal, closer to the anus. They can be extremely painful, especially if they have a blood clot.
It is possible to have both internal and external piles simultaneously.
A proctologist can easily diagnose piles based on medical history and a physical exam. In addition, they can diagnose external piles by inspecting the area around the anus. Your proctologist can also conduct a digital rectal exam to diagnose internal piles. In this diagnostic test, the doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum to look for abnormalities in the anal canal and rectum. They can also perform procedures like anoscopy and rigid proctosigmoidoscopy to inspect the rectum and anus.
Depending on the severity, piles are graded from grades 1 to 4. Generally, grade 1 and grade 2 piles can be treated without any surgery, while grades 3 and 4 require surgery for treatment. Treatment for piles can be surgical and non-surgical.
Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical procedure to treat piles. In this procedure, you will be given injections to help shrink the piles. Rubber band ligation is also a non-surgical option in which the piles are tied off at their base with rubber bands, cutting off the blood flow to them.
Your doctor might recommend one of the other surgical procedures for persistent bleeding or painful piles. The various surgical options include:
