If you suffer with haemorrhoids, then understanding how the medical profession grades the different sizes and nature of your piles could be vital in how you approach the treatment of your specific condition.
The whole subject of piles can be awkward to discuss, so the more informed you are, the easier any discussion you might have will be.
Haemorrhoids are graded into four sizes which is a reflection of the severity of the particular haemorrhoid.
Broadly speaking, the more severe your haemorrhoid condition, the more they will affect your life in all sorts of ways from managing the irritation to avoiding certain activities due to the pain and inconvenience.
Your specific haemorrhoid grade, can only be diagnosed by a medical professional.
