When you're pregnant, piles can occur because hormones make your veins relax. Piles during pregnancy are so common.
There are steps you can take to avoid getting piles:
#1. Ensure you’re drinking enough fluids to avoid becoming dehydrated and constipated.
#2. Eat a diet of food that is high in fibre, including fruit, veg and wholemeal bread.
#3. Exercise regularly to help improve your circulation.
#4. Don’t strain whilst on the loo, take your time or try again later after drinking some water or eating some food high in fibre.
