my mother has just got her second chemotherapy and a month before she underwent a uterus removal operation. now she is having a serious piles problem. is it one of the side effects of chemotherapy?

yes this is due to chemo.constipation is a common side effect of chemo. humen bahot saare lactative patient ko dene chahiye. we must give the patient a lot of fluids. i used to give my daughter, also a cancer patient, 2-3 coconut water every day apart from nimbu pani and aam panna.

first of all we should encourage the patient. we should be polite and normal with them.some time they get irritated. but we should be still normal/
