It looks like you’re referring to “bavasir,” male piles which is the Turkish term for hemorrhoids—swollen veins in the rectal or anal area. Hemorrhoids can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus), and they’re a common condition that many people experience at some point in their lives.
Key Points About Hemorrhoid’s (Bavasir)
- Causes:
Common factors include straining during bowel movements, prolonged sitting, chronic constipation or diarrhoea, and pregnancy. These factors increase pressure on the veins in the lower rectum, leading to swelling. - Symptoms:
Symptoms can vary depending on whether the haemorrhoids (male piles) are internal or external. They may include: - Pain or discomfort, especially during bowel movements
- Itching or irritation around the anus
- Swelling or a lump near the anus (if the haemorrhoids become thrombosis)
- Minor bleeding during bowel movements
- Management and Treatment:
Many cases of haemorrhoids can be managed with self-care strategies such as: - Increasing fibre intake and staying well-hydrated to ease bowel movements
- Taking warm sits baths to relieve discomfort
- Using over-the-counter creams or suppositories to reduce pain and inflammation
- Avoiding prolonged sitting or straining during bowel movements in more severe cases, medical procedures like rubber band ligation or surgical removal may be recommended by a healthcare provider.
