what causes piles in female - #23022
I am really stressed out about this issue I've been dealing with—what causes piles in female patients? I'm a 34-year-old woman and have been experiencing some uncomfortable symptoms for a few months now. At first, I thought it was just a little constipation, ya know? But then I started noticing some bleeding and itching, which kinda freaked me out. My sister suggested I might have piles but I’m not sure. I went to see my doctor who confirmed they're probably hemorrhoids (or piles). I’m trying to figure out what causes piles in female bodies like mine, especially because I've heard that pregnancy can be a big factor, and I have a toddler running around. Is it just pressure from being pregnant, or could there be other stuff at play? I also sit a lot for work and that can't help, right? I've been trying to eat more fiber and drink lots of water but I still get these flare-ups. Are there specific routines or lifestyle things that could make a difference? I read somewhere that certain foods can either help or make things worse too. What's the scoop on what causes piles in female patients and what should I definitely avoid? Thanks for any tips!
