How long do Piles last?
Piles can be a common condition. About half of all people will experience them at least once before they turn 50. Although they can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, age or gender, they are more common in older adults, pregnant women, those with GI conditions and those who have a history of Piles in the family.
Piles are when your anus or rectum becomes swollen. They can occur internally (inside your rectum) and externally (around your anus).
You may have many questions if you suffer from piles. How long can piles last? How can you get piles under control?
How can you tell if you have piles?
Piles most commonly manifest as:
- Anal pain/painful bowel movements
- Rectal bleeding is when you see blood in your bowel after you have used the toilet or wiped it.
- Itchiness

These symptoms can also indicate something more serious like polyps or anal cancer. Anal fissures are also common in piles. These occur when the skin around anus is torn. However, anal fissures are more painful than piles.
