Title:   Haemorrhoids
Publisher:   Better Health Channel
Description:   Haemorrhoids, or piles, are varicose veins of the rectum or anus. They are usually caused by years of straining on the toilet because of chronic constipation. Pregnancy and heavy manual labour can also cause haemorroids. Symptoms include itching or pain around the anus, and bleeding (blood on toilet paper). Blood from the bowel or in the faeces (poo) should be reported to a doctor. A high fibre diet can prevent and treat haemorroids. Haemorrhoids can be treated by injection and banding from a competent surgeon.
