What are the different grades of piles?
• Grade 1: These are small hemorrhoids inside the anus lining.
• Grade 2: hemorrhoids are slightly larger than grade 1 hemorrhoids and
also occur inside the anus. These hemorrhoids may be pushed out
when passing stool, but they will gradually return to their normal
position.
• Grade 3: These are also known as ‘prolapsed hemorrhoids’. They occur
on the exterior of the anus. The patient can push them back in by
pressing against them with fingers.
• Grade 4: These hemorrhoids cannot be moved back and must always
remain outside the anus. They must be treated by a doctor, who will
likely recommend surgery.
