Can laxatives lead to piles? How?
Can lifestyle changes help prevent or reduce the risk of piles?
Yes, adopting a high-fiber diet, drinking plenty of water, and exercising regularly can help prevent constipation and reduce the risk of hemorrhoids. It's also important to avoid sitting or standing for prolonged periods of time and to take frequent breaks if you have to sit or stand for long periods. Maintaining a healthy weight can also help reduce the risk of hemorrhoids.
