Piles, medically known as Hemorrhoids, are essentially veins which get swollen in rectum and anus regions. Piles are usually of two types – internal and external. Those around the anus region, under the skin, are external piles (External Hemorrhoids) and those which develop inside the rectum are internal piles (internal Hemorrhoids)
