Is it embarrassing to talk about piles ? Why can't we discuss about piles with our friends, relatives and doctors?
Piles is a very common condition. About ten lac new cases of piles are reported every year. About 50-85% of population is suffering from piles at some time of their life.
It is always a taboo like sex or like periods in females. There are lot of fun and jokes which are associated with this. We are embarrassed if we pass wind in public or if we scratch our anus openly. And this is the reason in our mindset that talking about anus is embarrassing. And we have this perception since childhood.
Anus is like any other body part. It is very very important for the body. We should not feel shy if we are having some problem in this area. Like other organs diseases may also effect it.
Don't consider that only piles can occur here. There are several conditions which may affect the anus eg. anal fissure, anal fistula, wart, condyloma, fungal infection, cancer, prolapse, ulcer etc..
My advice to you is to talk about your condition freely from your friends or relatives. You may be benefited with their experiences.
Also, talk to your doctor openly to get relieved.
Piles may be a life threatening condition some time and we should never ignore the symptom. Also we can miss the cancer which will be real troublesome.
