The walls of anus and rectum are full of blood vessels that start to bleed the moment they are touched or manipulated. This happens at the area where arteries that are encased by connective tissue and muscles, blend into the veins. When the hemorrhoids or piles lead to itching, inflame and cause a lot of bleeding and pain they need attention.
Hemorrhoids are there in the body but they spell trouble only when they inflame, become itchy and cause hassles. The small vessels in the area start to engorge with blood and they swell up leading to a lot of pressure to the area. The vessels that are actually smaller in size end up increasing in their girth and become tender to touch.
Patients who are suffering from piles normally take a low fiber diet and may also suffer from constipation. They have to strain hard to pass their stool and encourage bowel movement. The strained bowel activity often strains and puts undue pressure on the blood vessels and they start to bleed. Women often complain of piles when they are pregnant because the muscles of anal and rectal region become weak due to bodily and hormonal changes.
People who live a sedentary lifestyle, and those who sit for a prolonged period on the toilet seat, end up applying extensive force to the area and they end up agitating the hemorrhoid blood vessels. Acute and chronic diarrhea patients and those people who have had a rectum surgery in the past may also complain of this problem. Try to keep that weight down because obesity is also one of the main causes of piles.
A huge number of people, normally those who fall in the age group of 45-65 are affected by piles. Piles, may travel down families or it may occur due to prolonged standing and sitting postures, constipation, low fiber diet, gravity, obesity, pregnancy, heavy weight lifting, or food allergies. You can obtain natural relief with Baba Ramdev ayurvedic medicines for piles. The sight of the blood clumps, or clots, bleeding, during defecation can be very traumatic for a person. The sudden urge to defecate even when there is no excreta, and an irritation or pain in the anus can be extremely troublesome for anyone, so do not neglect piles and get them checked right away.
You can try and settle the irritated hemorrhoid by applying an ice pack to the affected area for a little while. After 10-15 minutes the person can feel a relief in pain. Try this remedy a number of times during the day and breathe a sigh of relief from pain. The blood vessels constrict the moment they touch ice and the inflammation will reduce to a great extent.

Applying a cotton ball that has been soaked in lemon juice helps in strengthening the blood vessel walls and the small capillaries in the area and also supplements the area with nutrients. This may hurt a little but be patient for the results. Apple cider vinegar and witch hazel also help in piles.
