Common symptoms of piles include:painless bleeding from your anus, which you may notice in the toilet bowl or when you use toilet paper or from soiled underwear; a lump on your anus; a slimy discharge of mucus; a feeling that your bowels haven't emptied completely; itchy skin around your anus; swelling around your anus or pain and discomfort after a bowel movement if you have external piles. These symptoms may be caused by problems other than piles. You should visit your doctor for advice.
