  A number of factors can contribute to the development of piles: 
  • The most common cause is straining during bowel movement, usually as a result of constipation.
  • During pregnancy, the growing baby exerts increased pressure on the anal vessels, which can lead to piles.
  • Heredity: you may be more likely to develop piles if your family has a history of suffering.
  What Anusol Cream is for?
  Anusol Cream is a medicine which is used to relive the swelling, itch and irritation of internal and external piles (haemorrhoids) and other minor ano-rectal conditions such as anal itching and fissures. It can be used post-operatively following ano-rectal surgery.
   
  Anusol Cream has a vanishing base formulation which means it is rapidly absorbed. The cream can also provide lubrication when used with suppositories. 
   
  This product is for use by adults over the age of 18 years old.
   
  Symptoms
  Some people have piles without experiencing any symptoms, but sufferers may notice the following:
  • Bleeding: Although streaks of bright red blood on the toilet paper are not uncommon in people with piles, it may be a sign of a more serious condition and you should see your doctor.
  • Swelling: The swollen blood vessels may be felt as a lump or blockage in the anus
  • Pain, itching and irritation in the anal region
  At least 40% of people suffer from piles at some time in their lives. However, many people are too embarrassed to seek advice or treatment and, as a result suffer unnecessary discomfort.
