Haemorrhoids (piles) can be thought of as a type of varicose vein in a very inconvenient location.

Itchy bottom is a very common condition. The itch, situated in or around the anal region, is often intense and may be accompanied by burning, painful sensations and a strong urge to scratch. You may find anal itching to be embarrassing and uncomfortable. There are many possible causes, including haemorrhoids which are experienced by 3 out of 4 adults at some point. Other causes include not wiping gently enough, fungal conditions, washing too much or too little, or an episode of diarrhoea. It is important to consult with your doctor if you are bleeding from the anal region or have had haemorrhoids for a prolonged time before starting any self-treatment.

Haemorrhoids, also called piles, are swollen veins in the anus and lower rectum and are so common that they are experienced by three out of every four adults at times.

• Regular heavy lifting
