For many people in India, piles is more than just an occasional discomfort, it can become a daily struggle. From long hours of sitting to spicy diets and ignoring digestive symptoms, everyday habits play a bigger role than we realise. These lifestyle choices can silently worsen the condition, leading to increased pain, bleeding, and itching.

Insights from a Global Study
A PubMed study found that individualised homeopathic treatment significantly reduced bleeding, pain, and heaviness in hemorrhoid patients over six months. This highlights that homeopathy provides safe, effective, and symptom-focused relief for managing hemorrhoids naturally.
Everyday Habits That Aggravate Piles
-
Sitting for Long Hours
Desk jobs, long commutes, or binge-watching on weekends can lead to poor blood circulation in the rectal area, exacerbating piles.
-
Delaying Nature's Call
Holding your bowel movements can lead to hard stools and increased pressure, a common cause behind flare-ups.
-
Lifting Heavy Weights
Whether at the gym or while doing daily chores, straining your muscles puts pressure on your rectal veins.
-
Ignoring Constipation or Diarrhoea
Chronic constipation and frequent loose motions are both primary triggers that damage the anal region over time.
-
Poor Anal Hygiene
Failing to keep the area clean and dry can worsen itching and increase the risk of infections, especially during humid weather.
-
Using Phones on the Toilet
This common habit prolongs bathroom time and leads to unnecessary straining.
-
Scratching the Anal Area
While tempting, scratching due to itching can lead to tiny tears, making the condition more painful.
Why These Habits Worsen Piles
In India, fast-paced lifestyles and cultural habits often lead to digestive issues. Skipping meals, eating spicy foods, or avoiding public restrooms all contribute to poor bowel habits. When these issues go unchecked, they increase pressure on the rectal veins, inflame the anal region, and complicate healing.
Making small, consistent changes in daily habits can ease discomfort, reduce bleeding, and improve overall bowel health.
Dr Batra’s® pro tip:
Do not ignore itching or bleeding, they are early signs of piles. Consult early to avoid complications.
