What Are the Treatments for Piles During Pregnancy?
Hemorrhoids, also called piles, are common during pregnancy. Hemorrhoids occur as a result of enlarged veins that protrude through the anus. This swelling of the veins is caused by several things in pregnancy, including constipation, the pressure the uterus places on the intestines, increased progesterone and pushing during labor. Hemorrhoids may disappear after pregnancy or they may linger. It is common for the hemorrhoids to disappear and return when the conditions, such as constipation, are recreated. Several methods can relieve the discomfort associated with piles.
