Why Constipation Leads to Piles and Fissures
5 Oct 2026
If you often feel that your stomach is not clearing properly, you are not alone — constipation (kabj) is extremely common and is closely linked to piles and fissures. Let us understand why.
How constipation causes damage
- Straining puts extra pressure on anal veins, causing piles
- Hard stool can tear the delicate anal lining, causing a fissure
- Long sitting time on the toilet worsens vein swelling
- Repeated straining turns a small problem into a chronic one
Simple ways to ease constipation
- Drink enough water through the day
- Add fibre-rich foods like fruits, salad and whole grains
- Avoid delaying the urge to pass stool
- Stay physically active with regular walking
See a doctor if you have:
- Constipation lasting more than two weeks
- Blood mixed in stool
- Severe pain while passing stool
- Unexplained weight loss along with bowel changes
