What are Piles?

Piles or haemorrhoids are swollen or enlarged blood vessels inside or around the rectum and anus. When veins in the lining of the anus and rectum become enlarged,they are filled withexcess blood,and causethe underlying tissues to also swell, forming abnormal lumps. It occurs most commonly in individuals over 50 years of age.

Haemorrhoids are classified into two types. They include:

 Internal Haemorrhoids: These are swellings that develop inside the anus. You may not be able to see or feel them. Sometimes, they may protrude through the anus to form external haemorrhoids.

  External Haemorrhoids: These are swellings that develop outside the anuswhile passing stools. You may be able to see and feel them. Formations of blood clots in external haemorrhoids are called thrombosed haemorrhoids and are extremely painful.

Piles are caused due to excessive abdominal pressure from standing or sitting for long periods, being obese, pregnancy and straining during constipation. Diet plays an important role in causing and preventing piles. People who consume more processed food, and less fibre and fluids may develop piles as a result of producing hard stools and straining during bowel movements.

Obesity Surgery London

Obesity

Obesity is not a simple condition of eating too much. It is now recognized that obesity is a serious, chronic disease.

Causes of Obesity

Obesity could be a combination of the following:

    The genes you inherited from your parents
    How well your body turns food into energy
    Your eating and exercising habits
    Your surroundings
    Psychological factors

Consequences of Obesity

If you are obese, severely obese, or morbidly obese, you may have:

Major health risks

    Shorter Life Expectancy
    Compared to people of normal weight, obese people have a 50% to 100% increased risk of dying prematurely
    Obese people have more risk for:

    Diabetes (type 2)
    Joint problems (e.g., arthritis)
    High blood pressure
    Heart disease
    Gallbladder problems
    Certain types of cancer (breast, uterine, colon)
    Digestive disorders (e.g., gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GORD)
    Breathing difficulties (e.g., sleep apnea, asthma)
    Psychological problems such as depression
    Problems with fertility and pregnancy
    Incontinence

Risks to psychological and social well-being

    Negative self-image
    Social isolation
    Discrimination

Difficulties with day-to-day living

    Normal tasks become harder when you are obese, as movement is more difficult
    You tend to tire more quickly and you find yourself short of breath
    Public transport seats, telephone booths, and cars may be too small for you
    You may find it difficult to maintain personal hygiene

Treatment

Non-surgical intervention:

Many people who are unhealthily overweight have tried in vain to lose excess weight. The market is overflowing with all kinds of slimming diets, cures and products that advertise success. But many studies show that diets and slimming aids rarely succeed in helping people achieve the desired result of long lasting weight reduction. In fact, many people who have tried dieting gain back more than they lost when they go off the diet.

Surgery

If you have tried diets, cures, tablets or medicines and they haven't helped you lose and maintain a healthy weight, one option may be an operation to artificially reduce the amount your stomach can hold and decrease your appetite.
