    Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the anus and rectum. Piles can be internal or external. Internal piles are located inside the rectum and are usually not painful. External piles are located under the skin around the anus and can be painful, especially when they become thrombosed (blood clots form in the vein).
