Piles refers to swollen, dilated, inflamed veins in or around the anus or in the lower rectum. These are broadly divided into two types: external (those that form on the anus and can be seen or felt near the anus) and internal (those that develop in the rectum). Protruding piles refer to the protrusion of piles (which otherwise lie in the rectum) from the anus during straining while passing stool. In mild cases, it tends to go back into the anus on its own after passing stool. In moderate cases, the piles that protrude during straining do not disappear back into the anus on their own and must be pushed back manually. In severe cases, the piles do not move inside the anus even when pushed by hand, and remain permanently outside the anus. This condition is called prolapsed piles. Various signs and symptoms can cause protruding piles. These may include pain, bleeding, itching, burning and mucus discharge. A prolapsed pile can be seriously painful if a blood clot forms in it. Such piles are called thrombosis piles. Prolapsed piles can also become entangled when blood flow to the piles stops because it becomes stuck in the anal muscles. Thrombosis and strangulation of piles are the serious complications of piles that need urgent medical attention.
