Abstract :

Blood vessels in the anal canal swell to become hemorrhoids, often known as piles. Hormonal changes, elevated intra-abdominal pressure, constipation strain, protracted labor, and huge baby delivery put pregnant women at higher risk. Hemorrhoids affect between 25–35% of pregnant women; however, many of them become better after giving birth. Constipation can be avoided by following a high-fiber diet, drinking lots of water, and exercising frequently. Maintaining proper cleanliness is crucial, and strengthening the pelvic muscles can be achieved with Kegel exercises. If hemorrhoid symptoms worsen, get medical advice and treatment from a doctor.
