Constipation, Laptops, Mobile & Hemorrhoids: How Lifestyle Changes Can Help Grade 1 Piles
In today’s fast-paced world, we’re always looking for shortcuts—even when we go to the toilet. Believe it or not, one of the modern causes of Grade 1 hemorrhoids (piles) is taking your laptop or mobile phone into the bathroom and sitting there for long periods. Sounds familiar?
Let’s understand why this happens and how you can treat and prevent hemorrhoids naturally with the right steps.
Why Are So Many People Getting Hemorrhoids Today?
Constipation is the number one cause. And here’s what contributes to it:
Junk food:
Lacking fiber, leading to hard stools.
Sedentary lifestyle:
Less walking means slower digestion.
Lack of water:
Dehydration causes dry, hard stools.
Ignoring the urge:
Delaying going to the toilet disrupts the natural bowel movement rhythm.
Symptoms of Grade 1 Hemorrhoids
Slight bleeding during or after defecation
Itching or irritation in the anal area
Feeling of incomplete evacuation
Discomfort while sitting
Treatment Approach: Medical + Lifestyle Modification
- Eat more fibre: Add fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and seeds.
- Drink 2–3 litres of water daily.
- Limit toilet time to under 5 minutes, no gadgets in the bathroom!
- Go when you feel the urge; do not delay
- Yoga, meditation, and stress reduction help with bowel regularity.
- Stool softeners like isabgol (psyllium husk)
- Flavonoids (like Daflon) to strengthen blood vessels
- Anti-inflammatory creams or suppositories to reduce swelling
- Warm Sitz baths to soothe the area
If you have:
- Persistent bleeding
- Severe constipation
- Pain or discomfort despite self-care
- Family history of colorectal issues
- Early treatment helps prevent the progression to Grade 2 or higher, which may require procedures such as laser treatment or rubber band ligation.
Final Words
- Grade 1 hemorrhoids are a wake-up call from your body. Please treat them with respect, and do not ignore the early signs. Fix your routine, improve your diet, and stay active. Most cases can be reversed without the need for surgery.
- Remember: your toilet is not a workspace, leave the laptop out and bring in fibre instead!
