Hemorrhoids, as piles are commonly known, are the swollen blood vessels present in and around the rectum and anus. Any factor which leads to pressure in the anal region aggravates piles.
During pregnancy, piles occur as the expanding size of the uterus exerts pressure in the blood vessels of the anal region. The hormone progesterone relaxes the walls of the blood vessels and increases the risk of piles.
Piles are very common during pregnancy. It usually occurs during the third trimester or after delivery.
Depending on their position in the anal region they are categorized into external (hanging out in and around the anal region), internal piles (present inside the rectum). Often piles bleed and are known as bleeding piles.

Fiber is known for its health benefits to the stomach. Increasing fiber in the diet for the people suffering from piles is very necessary as it helps in clearing the bowel. It adds bulk to the stool and helps to keep it soft so that it can easily be expelled without causing much trouble to the blood vessels around. Fiber-rich foods include lentils, beans, banana, radish, turnip, whole wheat, onion, ginger, and many more.
