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.
Piles can have unpleasant symptoms - bleeding when passing a motion, discomfort, irritation and itching. Many people who suffer from piles 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.* |
