Rising Cases of Piles in Mumbai: Dr. Sandeep Shekhar Stresses the Importance of Choosing the Right Specialist
Mumbai Dombivli: Health experts are witnessing a significant rise in piles cases, especially among working professionals and young adults. Dr. Sandeep Shekhar says that modern lifestyle habits such as long sitting hours, work-from-home culture, unhealthy eating patterns, stress, and lack of exercise are contributing heavily to the increase in anorectal disorders.
According to Dr. Sandeep Shekhar from Dr Shekhar Clinic, constipation remains one of the primary causes behind piles development.
“People today are sitting for long hours, consuming low-fiber diets, sleeping irregularly, and ignoring physical activity. All these factors eventually lead to constipation, which puts pressure on the anal veins and causes piles,” explained Dr. Shekhar.
Dr. Shekhar warns that while piles may appear minor in the initial stages, neglecting symptoms can lead to severe complications. In advanced cases, patients experience bleeding piles, swelling, intense pain, and difficulty sitting comfortably.
Dr. Shekhar advises patients not to ignore symptoms such as:Blood in stool,External swelling or growth around the anus,Mucus discharge in stool,Persistent constipation,Pain during bowel movements,Changes in stool color,Unexplained weight loss
