About piles - 50% of people will suffer from piles at some point during their life
 |
|
Piles are very rarely talked about, that is, unless they are part of a joke. Yet for the 1.7 million people in the UK who suffer with them, piles are no laughing matter.
I see many patients who are experiencing the unpleasant symptoms of piles - bleeding when passing a motion, discomfort, irritation and itching. Many of these people feel embarrassed, but they shouldn't since piles are very common. In fact, 50% of people in the western world suffer from piles at some point during their life.*
I'd like to answer a few of the frequently asked questions about piles and to dispel the myths and misconceptions that surround them. |
