Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen veins in the anal region. They can be internal or external and can cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding. Haemorrhoids are a common condition, affecting many people at some point in their lives. In this article, we will discuss the causes of haemorrhoids and how to prevent them.
Causes of Haemorrhoids
Haemorrhoids are caused by increased pressure on the veins in the anal region. Some common causes of this pressure include:
Constipation: Straining during bowel movements can put pressure on the veins in the anal region.
Pregnancy: The increased weight and pressure of the growing uterus can put pressure on the veins in the anal region.
Obesity: Being overweight can put pressure on the veins in the anal region.
Sitting for long periods: Sitting for extended periods of time can put pressure on the veins in the anal region.
Low-fiber diet: A diet low in fiber can cause constipation, which can lead to haemorrhoids.
Prevention of Haemorrhoids
Eat a high-fiber diet: Eating a diet high in fiber can help prevent constipation and reduce the risk of haemorrhoids. Good sources of fiber include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help prevent constipation and reduce the risk of haemorrhoids.
Exercise regularly: Regular exercise can help prevent constipation and reduce the risk of haemorrhoids.
Avoid sitting for long periods: If you have a desk job or sit for extended periods, take frequent breaks to stand and move around.
