Rising Cases of Piles Disease Highlight Need for Awareness and Early Treatment

In August 2025, medical experts across India have reported a significant increase in the number of patients suffering from piles (hemorrhoids), especially in urban populations. Sedentary lifestyles, lack of fiber in diets, and increased stress levels are cited as the primary causes. Doctors warn that many patients delay treatment due to embarrassment or lack of knowledge, leading to complications that could have been avoided with early diagnosis. Health institutions are now focusing on awareness campaigns promoting lifestyle changes, early screenings, and non-surgical treatments. Ayurveda and minimally invasive laser therapies are also gaining popularity as effective alternatives to traditional surgery.
