Frequently Asked Questions
Why do piles occur during pregnancy?
Piles can develop during pregnancy because hormonal changes,
increased pressure in the pelvic area and constipation can
enlarge the veins around the anus. Ask your healthcare
professional about suitable ways to manage symptoms.
What foods can I eat with piles?
Choose fibre-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, beans,
lentils, oats and whole grains. Drink adequate fluids to help
soften stools and reduce straining.
What foods should I avoid with piles?
Limit foods that are low in fibre if they contribute to
constipation, such as heavily processed foods and meals
dominated by refined grains. Individual triggers can vary.
Is piles treatment painful?
Discomfort varies with the procedure and severity of the
condition. Your specialist can explain pain management,
recovery time and the most appropriate treatment for you.
