@digestive.liver.c: Replying to @onyi.otis 👉Constipation and straining ✅Hard stools can make you push harder during bowel movements, increasing pressure on the veins around the anus. 👉Spending too long on the toilet ✅Sitting on the toilet for prolonged periods can increase pressure on the anal veins and contribute to hemorrhoids. 👉Low-fiber diet ✅Not eating enough fruits, vegetables, whole grains and other fiber-rich foods can lead to harder stools and constipation. 👉Pregnancy ✅Increased pressure from the growing uterus, together with hormonal and bowel changes, can make hemorrhoids more likely. 👉Heavy lifting ✅Repeated heavy lifting or holding your breath while lifting can temporarily increase pressure in the abdominal and pelvic veins. 👉Chronic diarrhea ✅Frequent bowel movements and repeated wiping or irritation can aggravate the anal area and contribute to hemorrhoidal symptoms. 👉Being overweight ✅Excess weight can increase pressure on the pelvic and rectal veins. 👉Aging ✅With age, the tissues that support the veins in the rectum and anus can become weaker, making hemorrhoids more likely. 📌Hemorrhoids aren't caused by just one factor. Constipation, straining, prolonged toilet sitting and increased pressure. 🚨 Don’t keep treating hemorrhoids while ignoring what’s causing them. ✅If you have bleeding, pain, itching, swelling, or difficulty passing stool, it’s important to find out what’s contributing to the problem. 📍 In Nairobi?
