Many people are reluctant to talk about anal diseases. However, these problems are increasing today due to changes in diet and lifestyle. The main reasons for their occurrence are:
Chronic Constipation: The main cause of hemorrhoids is constipation. When bowel movements are not smooth, excessive straining to expel stool puts pressure on the blood vessels in the anus, which swells and turns into hemorrhoids.
Low-fiber diet: A decrease in fiber-rich fruits and vegetables in the diet causes stool to become thick. Consumption of flour dishes, fast food, and excessive meat consumption slow down digestion and increase the risk of disease.
Prolonged sitting: Sitting in the same position for hours in offices and other places puts pressure on the muscles and blood vessels around the anus. This increases the risk of piles.
Anal Infections and Abscesses: The main cause of fistula is abscesses near the anus. When the pus in these abscesses does not drain, it forms a small tunnel under the skin. This later becomes a fistula.
Body weight and pregnancy: People who are overweight have more pressure on the blood vessels in the lower part. Similarly, hemorrhoids can occur when the uterus puts pressure on the nerves in the anus during pregnancy.
