Piles (hemorrhoids) are not usually dangerous, but they can cause discomfort, pain, and complications if left untreated. Severe cases may lead to:
- Excessive bleeding – Can cause anemia if persistent.
- Thrombosed hemorrhoids – Blood clots can form, leading to extreme pain.
- Prolapsed hemorrhoids – May protrude outside the anus and cause infection.
- Chronic irritation – Can lead to ulcers or infections.
Prevention & Management:
- Eat fiber-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains).
- Stay hydrated and avoid constipation.
- Avoid straining during bowel movements.
- Exercise regularly.
- Use sitz baths and over-the-counter treatments if needed.
