Chronic Constipation: The most important cause of piles is constipation. The stool becomes hard and has to be strained to pass it, which puts a lot of pressure on the veins in the anus.
Excessive straining during bowel movements: Sitting on the toilet for a long time and straining to pass stool causes the veins to become swollen and swollen.
Dietary changes: Low-fiber foods and reduced water intake can lead to constipation and piles.
Pregnancy: During pregnancy, the uterus enlarges and puts pressure on the veins in the pelvic area. Hormonal changes can also cause piles.
Aging: As you age, the tissues in the anus become weaker, increasing the risk of piles.
Obesity: Obesity increases the pressure in the abdomen, which puts pressure on the veins in the anus.
Genetic factors: If someone in your family has piles, you are more likely to get them too.
