Haemorrhoid Smells: Causes & Treatment
Haemorrhoid Smells: An Uncomfortable Truth
Haemorrhoids are already an uncomfortable topic, but the question of whether they can cause a smell can be even more awkward. However, it's true: piles can sometimes emit an unpleasant odour, especially if they become inflamed. Understanding this symptom is the first step toward effective management and treatment. Learning about different haemorrhoid types can help you understand why some cause odours while others don't.
Anal Pressure and Haemorrhoids: Symptoms & Treatment
What is Anal Pressure?
If you suffer from piles (haemorrhoids), you may experience a persistent feeling of pressure around the bottom, almost as if you constantly want to open your bowels (called tenesmus). This uncomfortable sensation can be inconvenient and distressing, making you constantly aware of the nearest toilet when out and about. The pressure originates from your rectum, the last few inches of your large intestine where waste matter is stored before elimination. Understanding different haemorrhoid types can help explain why some cause more pressure than others.
Sentinel Piles: Symptoms & Treatment Options
What Are Sentinel Piles?
Sentinel piles, also known as sentinel tags or anal skin tags, are small, soft growths of excess skin around the anal opening. Unlike true haemorrhoids, these are not swollen blood vessels but rather remnants of healed anal fissures or previous haemorrhoid episodes. They serve as 'sentinels' marking the site of previous anal trauma or inflammation. Understanding different haemorrhoid types helps distinguish sentinel piles from active haemorrhoids.

The Relationship Between Cycling and Haemorrhoids
Cycling is an excellent form of exercise, but prolonged pressure on the perineum (area between the genitals and anus) can potentially contribute to haemorrhoid development or worsen existing piles. Understanding this relationship helps cyclists enjoy their sport while minimizing risks to anal health. Different haemorrhoid types may be affected differently by cycling activities.
