Some factors that may contribute to the formation of piles include:

• Inadequate fibre in the diet
• Chronic constipation and excessive straining during bowel movements
• Spending long periods of time in the toilet (e.g. reading in the toilet)
• Pregnancy
• Ageing

Piles only need to be treated if they cause certain symptoms. Mild symptoms can be relieved by improving and regularizing bowel habits.

• Conventional excisional haemorrhoidectomy
• Closed-wound excisional haemorrhoidectomy
• Stapled haemorrhoidectomy
• Ligasure haemorrhoidectomy
• Transanal Haemorrhoidal Dearterialization (THD)
