what causes piles in men - #22430

Aradhya

I am really confused and a bit worried about this whole piles situation. A few weeks ago, I started feeling this weird discomfort down there, and I didn’t think much of it at first. But it got worse, and I noticed some bleeding during bowel movements. After googling a bunch of stuff, I saw people talking about piles, which made sense to me because of the symptoms I was having, like pain and itching. I really want to understand what causes piles in men, since it seems scary and embarrassing to be dealing with this. I have tried to eat more fiber and drink a lot of water, but sometimes it feels like I’m still strugling. Is it true that things like straining while going to the bathroom or sitting for long periods can contribute to this? I work a desk job, and honestly, I do sit for hours on end most days and I'm curious if that plays a role in what causes piles in men. Also, is it something that runs in families? My dad had something like this when he was older. I just need to know if there are more things I should be doing or avoiding. Any advice on what causes piles in men would be super helpful right now!

Doctors' responses

Piles, or hemorrhoids, happen when the veins in the lower rectum or anus become swollen and is indeed relatively common. Several factors contribute to the development of piles, especially lifestyle habits and physiological changes. For men, the most common causes include straining during bowel movements, which often results from constipation. A low-fiber diet can make stools harder and more difficult to pass, leading to straining. You’re already on the right track by increasing your fiber intake and fluid consumption, as they can soften the stool and make them easier to pass. Sitting for long periods, especially on the toilet or at a desk job, can also exacerbate the pressure on these veins, contributing to piles. Taking breaks to stand, walk, or stretch occasionally can help alleviate this pressure. A family history of hemorrhoids, like what you mentioned about your father, may predispose individuals to develop them too. Other factors can include obesity, certain sports or heavy lifting, and even aging, which can weaken the tissues supporting the rectal veins. To further reduce the risk or severity of piles, continue focusing on a high-fiber diet. Aim for 25 to 30 grams of fiber per day from whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and legumes. Avoid holding in bowel movements, and try not to spend too long on the toilet. If symptoms persist or worsen, especially bleeding, it’s vital to consult a healthcare professional. They can evaluate if it’s piles or potentially another condition, and they might suggest treatments ranging from, lifestyle modifications, topical treatments to medical procedures if necessary. Piles are certainly manageable, especially with the right diet, habits and medical guidance. Remember, while embarrassing, they are a common issue that many men deal with.
