what is the reason for piles - #22680
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!
