Hello

Piles are varicosities or swelling and inflammation of veins in the rectum and anus.

Possible complications of piles

  • strangulation - when a pile that sticks out of the body (prolapsed pile) swells considerably and the blood flowing into it cannot return to the body.

  • thrombosis - if the blood in the swollen pile clots, forming a thrombosed pile.

  • gangrene (tissue death) - if there is a lack of blood supply to a pile.

  • infection - where an abscess may form around the rectum and anus causing pain and swelling
