What causes piles in men?

I've been dealing with piles for a while now, and it's quite uncomfortable and embarrassing. My father also had them, so I'm wondering if it's genetic or something else. What are the common causes of piles in men?

Piles are so painful and uncomfortable, haan na. It usually happens in men who sit for long office hours or have chronic constipation due to low fiber in their diet. Drinking enough water and eating green veggies helps, but do get it checked by a doctor if there is bleeding.

It is extremely embarrassing and painful to deal with piles, and I know how isolating it feels to suffer silently. The main cause is pressure on the veins in the rectal area due to chronic constipation or straining. Please don't hesitate to visit a doctor, they deal with this everyday.

In our homes, we are advised to drink buttermilk with jeera to cool the body and prevent constipation, which is a major cause of piles. Straining during bowel movements and heavy lifting also causes this. If the swelling or pain is persistent, please see a general surgeon for proper advice.

The primary causes of hemorrhoids or piles in men are chronic constipation, a low-fiber diet, sitting for prolonged periods, and straining. While lifestyle changes and stool softeners can prevent it, an accurate diagnosis from a gastroenterologist or surgeon is essential for proper treatment.

Piles are generally caused by increased pressure in the lower rectum, often due to constipation or chronic coughing. However, any rectal bleeding or severe pain must be checked by a doctor immediately to rule out other serious conditions. Please do not self-treat at home.
