A unhealthy lifestyle is one of the reason that piles has become so common. When this medical condition becomes serious and uncontrollable, surgery is the best way to eradicate it.
Haemorrhoids inside the rectum are known as internal haemorrhoids, whereas those outside it, are known as external haemorrhoids. Sometimes, haemorrhoids can lead to other major complications. External haemorrhoids may develop painful blood clots. Internal haemorrhoids may prolapse. Both these conditions cause irritation and infections and may require surgical assistance.
