If you're experiencing discomfort while sitting, itching around the anal area, or noticing slight bleeding during bowel movements, you might be dealing with hemorrhoids—commonly known as piles. Understanding who is more likely to develop hemorrhoids can help you take early preventive steps and seek expert care when needed.
At the clinic of Dr. Amit Ganguly, a leading GI Surgeon and Laparoscopic Specialist in Indore, patients receive advanced, compassionate care for piles, hernia, colon cancer, and other gastrointestinal conditions.
Who Might Get Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids can affect people of all ages, but certain groups are at higher risk:
1️⃣ People with Chronic Constipation
Straining during bowel movements increases pressure in the lower rectum, leading to swollen veins. A low-fiber diet and inadequate water intake are common causes.
2️⃣ Pregnant Women
During pregnancy, increased pressure in the abdominal area and hormonal changes make hemorrhoids more common—especially in the third trimester.
3️⃣ Individuals with a Sedentary Lifestyle
Sitting for long hours—whether at a desk job or driving—can contribute to poor rectal vein circulation.
4️⃣ Overweight or Obese Individuals
Excess body weight puts additional pressure on pelvic veins, raising the risk.
5️⃣ People Who Frequently Lift Heavy Weights
Regular heavy lifting without proper technique can strain abdominal and rectal veins.
6️⃣ Elderly Individuals
As we age, the tissues supporting the rectal veins weaken, making hemorrhoids more likely.
7️⃣ Those with Chronic Diarrhea
Frequent bowel movements and irritation of the anal canal can also trigger hemorrhoids.
