why piles occur - #22146
I am feeling really frustrated because for the last few weeks, I've been dealing with this unbearable discomfort down there, and I just found out it might be piles. I’ve been having these painful sessions in the bathroom, and sometimes there's even blood, which freaked me out totally! I started to research why piles occur and honestly, it’s confusing. They say it could be from straining too much or maybe it's connected to my recent lifestyle changes. I mean, I went from a pretty active life to sitting at my desk all day working from home, and I think that’s playing a part. Is it really just about the diet too? I’ve tried to eat more fiber, but why piles occur still puzzles me because my stool is not as hard anymore but the pain is still there! I spoke to a friend who said stress can also be a factor in why piles occur but is that really true? I’m really hoping to get some clarity because I don't want to keep living like this. I guess I’m just looking for advice from all of you allopathic docs on how to manage this and prevent it from coming back. Any thoughts would be super helpful!
