If it originates at the lower end of the anal canal near the anus, it is an external hemorrhoid. Internal hemorrhoids usually do not cause pain, but may bleed painlessly. External hemorrhoids can become inflamed, turning red and can cause acute pain. Putting pressure on the rectal area can aggravate this condition.

Ayurveda and piles
According to Ayurveda, Arsha (piles) are caused due to the imbalance in the three doshas – kapha, vata and the pitta. It is classified according to the dominant dosha:
- Vata Arsha (Hemorrhoids having vata dominance)
- Pitta Arsha (Hemorrhoids having pitta dominance)
- Kapha Arsha (Hemorrhoids having kapha dominance)
- Tridosha Arsha (Hemorrhoids having tridosha dominance)
