When the piles occur altogether within the anus, they are called internal piles. The-piles are also seen partly internal and partly external.

Inflamed piles are troublesome and make movement impossible. Some times, the pain extends to the testicles or bladder. Constipation always accompanies partly due to mechanical obstruction and partly due to the pain caused by the stools. Itching piles are often trouble some.
