Internal piles are swollen veins located inside the rectum, often painless in the early stages.
They may cause bright red bleeding during bowel movements without significant discomfort.
As they progress, internal piles can prolapse, protruding outside the anus and causing irritation.
Common causes include chronic constipation, straining, pregnancy, and low-fiber diets.
Treatment ranges from dietary modifications and stool softeners to medical procedures in advanced cases.
Piles, or hemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the rectum or anus causing discomfort and bleeding.
They can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (around the anus) and vary in severity.
Common symptoms include pain, itching, swelling, and bright red blood in the stool.
Causes include chronic constipation, straining during bowel movements, pregnancy, and prolonged sitting.
Management involves dietary fiber, hydration, topical treatments, lifestyle changes, and in severe cases, medical procedures or surgery.
Psychogenic constipation is caused or worsened by emotional stress, anxiety, or psychological factors.
Patients may experience infrequent bowel movements, straining, bloating, and a sensation of incomplete evacuation.

Management includes stress reduction techniques, behavioral therapy, dietary modifications, and, in some cases, medications.
Addressing the underlying psychological factors is essential for long-term improvement.

Long-term strategies focus on restoring normal bowel habits and preventing recurrence.
