Piles
Piles (or haemorrhoids) are varicose veins in your back passage, caused by constipation. Piles tend to occur from around the middle of pregnancy.
If you experience piles:
- Treat as you would treat constipation by eating a high fibre diet and drinking lot of fluids;
- Drink plenty of water, 7-8 glasses daily;
- Include a lot of fruits and vegetables in your diet;
- Take regular exercise such as walking;
- Discuss this complaint with your doctor.
