what causes piles in women - #22796
I am feeling really confused and worried about this whole piles thing. It started a few months ago when I noticed some discomfort down there. I thought maybe it was just from sitting too long or my diet, but then I did a bit of reading, and now I'm freaking out. I mean, what causes piles in women, anyway? I never thought I’d be dealing with this. The pain has been on and off, sometimes worse after I go to the bathroom, and I've seen a bit of blood too. I’m totally grossed out by the whole situation, and it’s affecting my daily life. I did a stool test and my doc said it could be partially from my irregular bowel movements, but he didn't really explain what causes piles in women. I keep questioning if it’s something I'm doing wrong or if I have to change my lifestyle, like is it my weight or lack of exercise? My mom had this too, so is it genetic? What causes piles in women in cases like that? I'm really looking for any tips to manage this or maybe even prevent it from getting worse, like are there exercises or diet changes that help? Just… really lost here.
