Piles, also known as hemorrhoids or bawasir in Hindi, are a common yet often ignored health condition. While many people feel embarrassed discussing it, ignoring piles can lead to serious complications. We’ll discuss how dangerous piles can become if left untreated, what warning signs to watch for, and how you can treat them naturally and effectively.

Understanding Piles (Bawasir)

Piles are inflamed and swollen veins in the rectum and anus that are painful, uncomfortable, itchy, and bleed at times. They are classified into two forms:

Internal Piles: Situated inside the rectum, painless but often bleed.

External Piles: Situated under the skin near the anus, usually painful and often develop hard lumps.
Mild piles can clear up with lifestyle modification and self-medication, but if the condition persists or is neglected, it can have complications.

Are Piles Dangerous?

The short answer is yes—piles can be dangerous if they are left untreated, particularly if they continue to progress in severity over time without care. Here's how untreated piles can affect your health:

1. Chronic Bleeding and Anemia

One of the initial signs of piles is bleeding when you have a bowel movement. Although it might appear insignificant, frequent blood loss causes anemia—a state in which your body lacks sufficient red blood cells to transport oxygen. You begin to feel weak, dizzy, tired, and breathless.

2. Infections and Pus Formation

Open sores or constant irritation of the anal region can be sites through which bacterial infection may enter. This will result in abscesses or pus-filled masses, which are very painful and may have to be surgically drained

3. Blood Clots (Thrombosed Hemorrhoids)

Sometimes, blood clots form inside external piles. These are known as thrombosed hemorrhoids, and they are intensely painful. They may appear as blue or purple lumps and may require immediate medical intervention.

4. Strangulated Piles

In extreme situations, prolapsed internal piles happen, which means that they bulge through the anus. If the flow of blood is interrupted in such prolapsed hemorrhoids, strangulated piles will result, a medical emergency that is extremely painful and causes death in the tissue.

5. Effect on Daily Life

Along with physical issues, if piles are not treated, they can badly impact your quality of life. Sitting, walking, or even doing normal activities may become difficult for you. Pain, itching, and embarrassment would also cause stress and anxiety.

Early Warning Signs You Can't Afford to Ignore

If you notice any of the following, it's time to get medical guidance or seek treatment:

1. Bleeding during bowel movements

2. Itching or burning sensation around the anus

3. Pain or discomfort when sitting

4. Swelling or lumps near the anus

5. Mucus discharge or discoloration of undergarments

6. Sense of incomplete evacuation

These signs should not be ignored, as they may make the condition more severe and a treatable problem become a serious medical concern.

What causes Piles?

To avoid piles from turning dangerous, one needs to know what causes them. The usual causes are:

1. Chronic constipation or diarrhea
2. Straining during bowel movements
3. Sedentary lifestyle
4. Lack of dietary fiber
5. Pregnancy and childbirth
6. Obesity
7. Prolonged sitting or standing

Home Remedies to Prevent Piles from Becoming Dangerous

2. Stay Hydrated

Drink at least 2–3 liters of water daily to prevent constipation.

3. Avoid Straining
Don’t sit too long on the toilet. Use a stool to elevate your legs for better bowel movement alignment.

4. Use Sitz Baths

Sitting in warm water for 15–20 minutes is soothing pain and decreasing swelling.

Light exercise such as walking enhances digestion and minimizes pressure on rectal veins.
