Back pain and piles
Well, science doesn’t back any connection between piles and back pain but there could be certain reasons that can be accounted for a feeble connection between the two.
Restricted blood flow:
Piles develop as swelled up veins and bulge around the anal canal which is also known as back passage. The anal canal lining has a network of small veins or blood vessels within its lining. The possible reason for back pain can be the less blood flow in the lower back region because piles cause these veins to become wider, swollen and to require more blood than usual. The blood that they extract is from the other sources and this is the reason the back might ache as a result of lack of blood flow.
Location of piles:
Another reason that could back the connection of piles with back pain is the location of piles. Piles grow and develop near the tailbone area. Hence, it is confusing to locate the epicenter of piles and back pain that could be actually the lump at the tailbone with swollen veins that are actually causing the pain. So, people often relate the piles located with some straining muscle causing the pain in their back.
Now, let’s have a look at the real reasons for back pain and yes, piles don’t come in that ambit.
Obesity:
Overweight causes the excess weight to put strain and pressure on the spine which causes back pain. (Also read: Tips for successful weight loss)
Lifting heavy objects:
Due to this the pressure directly falls upon the lower back which might pull a muscle due to excessive pressure.
Straining activities wrongly done:
Awkward positions are one of the major causes of muscle strain and back pain which might result in twisting your back and sharp pains. (Also read: Best sitting position for hemorrhoids)
Incorrect sleeping position:
Certain poor sleeping positions can place unnecessary pressure on the neck, hips and back.
Injuries damaging internal back locations:
These include intervertebral discs damage, compression of nerve roots, improper movement of spinal joints.
Torn or pulled muscle and/or ligament:
This can happen when you do any strenuous activity that involves sudden jerks.
Prolonged sitting and bad body posture:
This might cause a tremendous amount of pressure on the back muscles and spinal discs.
