My Experience of Haemorrhoids/Piles

I thought I'd write about a subject near to my heart or should I say close to my bottom. Haemorrhoids are also known as Piles and from now on I'm going to refer to them as piles as it's shorter and easier to spell. Piles are enlarged blood vessels in or around the anus. There is often pain, itching, bleeding and a feeling of heaviness down there also.

Haemorroids. Well, we don’t talk about them do we? We don’t really talk our ailments ever do we? That’s not macho, that’s not the male way.
