Question 1

what  causes  piles and how to cure it?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: Hemorrhoids can be caused by straining, sitting on the toilet for a long time, lifting heavy things, or chronic constipation or diarrhea. 
In some people, they appear to be hereditary. This makes sense, since varicose veins, which are similar to hemorrhoids, are the same.

Question 2

help please! could chocolate cause piles?

Accepted Answer

No, do not cause: Piles, or hemorrhoids, are enlarged veins under the lining of the rectum that are most commonly caused by excessive straining during defecation.  This is often associated with hard stools and constipation.  Chocolate is not a cause of this, but more a reflection of an unbalanced diet.  Some have claimed that certain foods, including chocolate, can make existing hemorrhoids more symptomatic however.

Well: Piles or hemorrhoids is a collection of inflammed or swollen veins in the rectal or anal area. They can become abraided and bleed.

Question 4

could a sitting job of 8 hours cause piles?

Accepted Answer

No: Sitting does not cause hemorrhoids. These are normal veins that may become enlarged or irritated with constipation or sitting and straining at the toilet too long. Eat high fiber foods, fruits & vegetables, drink plenty of liquids.

Question 5

does masterbating cause piles? also is it safe to masterbate once in10 to 15 days?

Accepted Answer

Piles & Masturbation: Nope of the first questions and yes to the second. 

I can think of no physiological reason for masturbation to lead to blood clots in the veins in the rectum.  But, sex toys or other anal play can exacerbate this problem.

Now. The safety of  masturbation is without a doubt that there is no medical or scientific reason to limit the amount of sexual play you have as an adult.
