Internal vs. external
Internal piles occur within the rectum and are usually not visible during an external examination. However, in some cases, an external pile may grow to protrude outside of the anus. The medical term for this is prolapsed haemorrhoid.
External piles form small lumps on the outside edge of the anus. They are very itchy and can become painful if a blood clot develops because the clot can block blood flow. Thrombosed external piles, or haemorrhoids that have clotted, require immediate medical treatment.
An individual with piles may experience the following symptoms:
painful lumps in and around the anus
itching and discomfort around the anus
discomfort during and after passing stools
bloody stools
Piles can escalate into a more severe condition. These include:
excessive anal bleeding, possibly leading to anaemia
infection
faecal incontinence
anal fistula
strangulated haemorrhoid, in which anal muscles cut off blood supply to the haemorrhoid
