Main causes of piles
Chronic Constipation: Long-term constipation is the biggest culprit for piles. When you have to strain excessively to pass stool, there is excessive pressure on the veins in the anus and they become swollen and swollen.
Sitting for a long time in the toilet: Spending hours in the toilet for bowel movements causes more blood to flow into the veins and cause swelling.
Diet: Low fiber foods (vegetables, fruits) and not drinking enough water lead to constipation and aggravate piles.
Pregnancy: Piles are commonly seen in pregnant women due to the pressure exerted by the uterus on the veins during pregnancy.
Age: As we age, the tissues around the anus become weaker and the veins become swollen.
Being overweight: Being overweight increases pressure on the veins in the abdomen.
Lifting heavy objects: Working at a job that requires constant lifting can cause piles.
