Haemorrhoids

Haemorrhoids or piles are very common and at some point in our lives at least half of us will develop piles, however most people are too embarrassed to even talk about them or ask for advice. Piles are caused by increased pressure in your abdomen causing the blood vessels around your bottom to stretch and swell. This can lead to a variety of symptoms including itching and soreness, discomfort or pain on passing a motion, blood on the toilet paper and hard lumps just outside or just inside your bottom. This should be diagnosed by your doctor, and then you can use one or more of the products shown below for relief, as well as treating any constipation.
