what is the reason for piles - #22680

Siddharth

I am really struggling with this annoying situation, and I don’t know what to do. About a month ago, I started experiencing this pain when I went to the bathroom — it was like the worst, sharpest discomfort I had ever felt. After a few days of trying to ignore it, I noticed this weird swelling around my rear end. I thought maybe it would go away, but it hasn’t. Eventually, I went to the doctor and was told I have piles. I'm just trying to figure out what is the reason for piles in the first place because no one really gave me a solid answer. I mean, I didn’t think I was doing anything that would lead to this condition! I do sit a lot at work, maybe I eat a bit too much junk food, and I can be pretty stressed from life, but isn’t that just normal? What else could be causing this? I tried to find some info myself but everything seems too complicated. Is it just my diet? Or could there be other reasons? I just wonder what is the reason for piles and how I can manage or prevent them because I can’t keep living like this! Any insights would be super appreciated!

Doctors' responses

Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, develop when the veins around the lower rectum or anus become swollen and inflamed. This condition can be linked to multiple factors. One of the primary causes is straining during bowel movements, which is often due to constipation. A diet low in fiber plays a significant role here, as it can lead to harder stools and consequently, more straining. Sitting for long periods, especially on the toilet, can also cause piles and sitting a lot during work can contribute to this too. Physical activity, like regular walking or exercises, helps in promoting bowel movements thereby reducing the risk. Stress might also have an indirect role by disturbing bowel habits, although it doesn’t cause piles directly. Be mindful that obesity, pregnancy, or lifting heavy weights repeatedly can increase intra-abdominal pressure leading to piles. It’s essential to increase your intake of high-fiber foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and drink plenty of water to help soften stools. Over-the-counter topical treatments can provide symptom relief too. Try to avoid sitting for too long, and take breaks every hour. However, if the condition does not improve with these measures or if you’re experiencing significant pain, bleeding, or other severe symptoms, seeking further medical advice is critical as sometimes procedures like banding or surgery might be necessary. By identifying these contributing factors and adhering to these strategies, you can manage and potentially prevent future flare-ups.
