The causes of piles or haemorrhoids and fissures, can vary, but they are often attributed to the following factors:

  3. Sedentary lifestyle: Sitting or standing for long periods without taking breaks to move around can increase the risk of developing piles and fissures.
  4. Obesity: Being overweight or obese puts additional pressure on the rectal veins, increasing the likelihood of developing piles and fissures.
  5. Pregnancy: Hormonal changes and increased pressure on the rectal area during pregnancy can cause piles and fissures to develop.
  6. Aging: As we age, the tissues supporting the rectum and anus can weaken, making us more susceptible to piles and fissure.
  7. Genetic predisposition: Some individuals may have a genetic predisposition to developing piles and fissure.
  8. Diet: Eating low fibre food may contribute to haemorrhoids and fissure.
  9. Anal Inter courses: This may create pressure in rectal area and causes piles & fissure and can worsen the condition of existing ones.

It’s important to note that these causes may vary from person to person, and a combination of factors can contribute to the development of piles and fissures.
