People who have piles or haemorrhoids have trouble passing gas. Gas to some extent is a normal phenomenon and nothing to be concerned about. But if you are experiencing bloating in excess, it may indicate something bigger. Excessive gas or bloating may be a reason for some serious intestinal or digestive diseases.

Do you think haemorrhoids can cause bloating and gas?

Usually, there are changes in bowel habits when you suffer from piles or haemorrhoids. This can eventually cause bloating and gas.

You might be aware that there are many types of haemorrhoids.

  • Prolapsed haemorrhoids may get severely swollen and obstruct your bowel movements.
  • Internal haemorrhoids may bleed extensively that can lead to severe blood loss in the body.

Some people feel excessive bloating gas may result in piles. It is also not medically proven that excessive gas is a result of piles. However, sometimes it is seen that if the passing of gas is very painful, it may be due to digestive issues, irritation around the anal opening or something more serious such as colon cancer or colorectal cancer.

Hence, if you are experiencing excessive gas or bloating and also have a troubled, or painful feeling while passing gas, it is recommended to see your doctor immediately.

The symptoms may vary from mild to severe from person to person.

  • Inflammation: If left untreated, the haemorrhoids may become inflamed. If a person suffers from a thrombosed haemorrhoid, it may appear bluish-purple in colour due to inflammation and causes a lot of pain.
  • Pain:  The veins near the haemorrhoids can get inflamed causing acute pain.
  • Redness and swelling: The swollen veins may lead to severe redness and swelling around the anus. This may cause severe itching and redness around the anal opening.
  • Bleeding: People suffering from piles may experience bleeding while passing stool. If it is left undetected, it may cause severe bleeding during bowel movements and can make bowel movements very painful.
  • Itching around the anal opening could be due to inflation of veins around the opening or an infection.
  • Sensitivity: Due to severe pressure and ruptured veins, the anal opening becomes very sensitive as it is exposed to the outside. It becomes very sensitive to touch and is highly uncomfortable.

A qualified doctor can run you through all the options available to you to ensure you get the best piles treatment in Bangalore.
