Most commonly, piles are caused due to a diet with low fibre content as well as insufficient intake of water or fluids. Foods with low fibre content, for example rice, result in straining and hard stools. The anal canal wall can be damaged by straining and can cause the blood vessels to balloon.
Lifestyle changes to treat piles
Factors like body weight and diet can play a role in increasing the risk of piles being developed. The condition can be prevented and even treated by maintaining healthy weight and consuming high fibre foods.
Initially, your doctor is likely to recommend certain lifestyle changes that can help you manage piles.
Body weight: The incidence as well as severity of piles can be reduced by losing weight.
Diet: There is a good chance that piles are occurring because of straining during bowel movements. Too much straining usually results from constipation. Changing your diet can help maintain the regularity and softness of the stools. For that, you need to incorporate a high fibre diet, which includes sufficient vegetables and fruits. In particular, you should try consuming bran-based breakfast cereals.
