Chronic Constipation: Straining excessively during constipation puts a lot of pressure on the veins in the anus. This is the main cause of piles.
Low-fiber diet: A diet low in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, and grains, can cause stool to become hard and cause constipation.
Sitting for long periods of time: Working in a chair for a long time and spending a long time on the toilet to defecate (for example, sitting on the toilet with a mobile phone) can increase pressure on the blood vessels.
Being overweight: When you gain weight, the blood vessels in the abdomen and pelvis have to bear more pressure.
Pregnancy: During pregnancy, the uterus enlarges, which puts pressure on the veins in the anus. Many women experience symptoms of piles after giving birth.
Age: As we age, the tissues and muscles in the anus become weaker and the nerves become looser, increasing the risk of piles.
Lifting heavy objects: Continuously lifting heavy objects can increase pressure on the nerves in the abdomen and anus.
