Once considered a problem of older age, piles is now alarmingly common among young adults — even teenagers. Modern lifestyles are fuelling a silent epidemic.

Why So Many Young People?

Sedentary jobs — IT, finance, call centres
Junk food culture — pizza, burgers, fries with zero fibre
Inadequate water intake
Phone time on the toilet — extended sitting on commode
Late-night eating, irregular sleep
High stress and skipping meals
Heavy gym lifting without proper technique

Common Symptoms in Young Patients

Bleeding while passing stool
Itching and discomfort
A lump or tag
Repeated constipation

Why It’s Worse If Ignored

Mild Grade 1 piles can become Grade 3 within months
Chronic bleeding causes anaemia
Repeated infection can lead to fistula
Embarrassment delays treatment

Prevention for Young Adults

3 litres of water daily
Fibre at every meal
30-minute walk
Limit screen time on the toilet to 5 minutes
Don’t ignore the urge
Manage stress with yoga or meditation
Avoid late-night fried snacks
