### **Signs You Need to See a Piles Specialist**

- **Pain while sitting or passing stools** requires a specialist’s intervention.
3. **Swelling or Lumps Around the Anus**
- External piles may form **painful or itchy lumps.**
- If the swelling worsens or feels hard, it could be a **thrombosed hemorrhoid.**
4. **Chronic Itching and Irritation**
- Constant **anal itching or burning** can be due to mucus discharge from internal piles.
- **Prolonged irritation** can lead to infections or skin damage.
5. **Difficulty in Passing Stools (Constipation or Straining)**

- If symptoms persist despite home remedies, professional treatment is necessary.
