A member asked:
Could a sitting job of 8 hours cause piles?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
