Before you start saying stuff like " oh you're not just into fashion huh? you 're a medical practitioner too or "dude are you related to Ben Carson now ? ", this whole "sermon" right here sprang up from a personal experience,  a very not "cool" one which propelled me to make research and i'm honored to share it here with the sole aim of breaking the " i didn't know" wall of excuse and also for more enlightenment  if possible and not because i'm a geek per say but hey!! if this  makes me one, please cut me some slacks then let me be geeky for once lol.

Pile as many people would think  "including me until now" was for a certain kind of people but it range from all sexuality, age - from kids to grown up, all gender and class of people - with the likes of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Hall of Fame baseball player George Brett and  of cause the last but not the least me (how did i even find myself here? ) .Thank your stars you won't be found here and if you ever will or ever was at least! you on safe ground now after this.

Pile also known as hemorrhoids are swellings containing enlarged blood vessels found inside or around the rectum and anus. They can be either internal or external hemorrhoids. While it is difficult to see or know you have an internal hemorrhoid unless they become prolapsed – that is poking out through the anus, the external  piles  occurs outside and around the anal opening (that can be easily seen).
In many cases, hemorrhoids don't cause symptoms and some people don't even realise they have them but in most cases, the typical symptom is rectal pain. However, when symptoms do occur, they may include:

-Itchiness around the anus

-Swelling and tender lumps in the anal region

- In cases of internal piles where the inflammation or lump is not visible the piles may move on to the outside, called a prolapsed, during the passage of stools and may need to be pushed back in

-severe pain while sitting down and walking

-The presence of blood in the stool or on tissue paper, and possible bleeding after passage of a stool - the blood is usually bright red

What causes hemorrhoids?
The exact cause of hemorrhoids is unclear, but they're associated with increased pressure in the blood vessels in and around your anus. This pressure can cause the blood vessels in your back passage to become swollen and inflamed. Some of the possible factors that can increase your vulnerability are;

-being overweight or obese

-as you age, your body's supporting tissues get weaker, increasing your risk of hemorrhoids

-being pregnant – this can place increased pressure on your pelvic blood vessels, causing them to enlarge

-having a family history of hemorrhoids

-regularly lifting heavy objects; basically hard labour

-a persistent cough or repeated vomiting

-sitting down for long periods of time

-prolonged constipation which causes straining in the toilet and this is as a result of low fibre content diet

-Chronic (long-term) diarrhoea can also make you more vulnerable to getting hemorrhoids.

-anal intercourse

- low consumption of water

Preventing and treating hemorrhoids

You can prevent piles by:

-gradually increasing the amount of fibre in your diet – good sources of fibre include fruit, vegetables, wholegrain rice, wholewheat pasta and bread, pulses and beans, seeds, nuts and oats

-drinking plenty of fluid – particularly water, but avoiding or cutting down on caffeine and alcohol

-ignoring the urge to empty your bowels can make your stools harder and drier, which can lead to straining when you do go to the toilet

-avoiding medication that causes constipation –such as painkillers that contain codeine

-losing weight if you're overweight
exercising regularly – this can help prevent constipation, reduce your blood pressure, and help you lose weight

Haemorrhoid symptoms often settle down after a few days without needing treatment but if other wise

-Use medications like corticosteroid creams or ointments that are available over-the-counter. Corticosteroid pads that you place on the affected area can also help with the swelling and pain. Special hemorrhoid creams that contain lidocaine can help reduce the pain

-Wear cotton underwear that prevents excessive perspiration and allows the skin to breathe

-Do not use rough toilet sheet that can damage sensitive skin

See your Doctor if the symptoms of hemorrhoids persist or becomes severe

Ok that's pretty how much i could dig up from my little research i hope its helpful somehow, somewhere but before anything else....

Have you been a victim of hemorrhoid ? How did it go/ did you go about it?, what other ways can we prevent/treat it? and of cause why do you think people shy away in letting people even their doctors know about it?
Keep the comment rolling in, i anticipate in excitement.
