PILES DISEASE TREATMENT

Piles (or Haemorrhoids) are a very common ailment that may affect men or women at any age. These are caused due to continuous high pressure in the veins. Other causes include constipation, excessive straining during bowel movements and persistent diarrhea. Family inheritance is also seen. Women are more susceptible to piles in pregnancy as the pressure from the growing uterus restricts the blood flow in the pelvis. Lifestyle factors also have a contributory

effect.

Causes

These are caused due to continuous high pressure in the veins of the anal region. Reasons may include chronic constipation, excessive straining during passage of stool, low fiber diet, or persistent diarrhea.

Family inheritance is also a factor. Women are more susceptible to piles in pregnancy as the growing uterus imparts pressure on the area and restricts the blood flow in the pelvis.

Lifestyle factors also have a major contributory effect. People are habitually constipated, overweight, lead a sedentary lifestyle with no or minimal physical activity. Habit of reading newspaper or e-news in toilet; eating junk, drinking less water are also the contributors.
