why do you get piles - #24758
I am really worried about something that’s been bothering me for a while. I started feeling this intense pain when I, um, go to the bathroom. I was trying to ignore it, but the discomfort just got worse, and now it's super painful. Went to the doctor who mentioned I might have piles?! I was just shocked and honestly didn't know how to react. Like, how did I even get this?! I do have some constipation issues, and I mean, sometimes I don’t drink enough water, could that be a factor? Why do you get piles, anyway? Just thinking about how they look, it makes me kinda cringe. I do a lot of sitting at my job, might be affecting things, right? I mean, is there a link between that and why do you get piles? Also, what can I do to make this better, like are there any home remedies? I really don’t want to go through anything invasive, so I’m hoping for some pointers on what might help with piles before it gets worse. Any insights on the causes and how to deal with it? Thanks in advance for your help, really need it.
