Piles or hemorrhoids are a swollen collection of veins and tissues in your anus and lower rectum. Piles vary in size and can be located inside or outside the anus. Piles situated at 2 and 4 centimeters above the anal opening are known as Internal Hemorrhoids. The ones found on the outside edge of the anus are known as External Hemorrhoids.

• Pain during defecation.
• Pain, particularly in upper right portion of the abdomen.
• Abdominal bloating.
• Unintentional weight loss.

A little tear in the thin, moist tissue (mucosa) lining the anus is known as anal fissure. An anal fissure may develop at the time of passing hard stools during a bowel movement. Anal fissures typically cause painful bowel movements along with bleeding. One may also experience spasms in the anal sphincter.

Large hernia symptoms can worsen upon lifting heavy objects, leaning forward, lying down, and during pregnancy. In some rare cases, the portion of the stomach that herniates into the chest cavity may get strangulated, causing:
• Severe chest pain
• Obstruction of esophagus
• Difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia).
An anal fistula is a tunnel connecting an infected cyst in the anus to an opening on the skin surrounding the anus. When small glands that produce mucus inside the anus get clogged and infected, it forms an abscess or cyst.
