Hemorrhoids - Commonly known as Piles - Homeopathy

One of the most condemning diseases nowadays is Piles. The common definition of piles is as follows - “Hemorrhoids, also called piles, which are swollen veins in your anus and lower rectum, similar to varicose veins. Hemorrhoids can develop inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids). Nearly three out of four adults will have hemorrhoids from time to time”.

But basically Piles looks like small, round, discoloured lumps, which you able to feel them on your anus or hanging down from your anal canal. Your anal canal is the short, muscular tube with blood vessels that connects your rectum (back passage) with your anus.

As per some reports about 50% of the population would have Piles. And it’s most common among adults over age 50 years . However, young people and children can also get them.

There are some particular symptoms of Piles, but the moment when you feel a lump around or in the anus immediately you need to consult a doctor, before it’s late.

In some cases surgery is the treatment of Piles. But a proper diet can help you to get rid of it. Eat high-fiber foods, more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. But foods with little fiber can cause or make constipation (and therefore hemorrhoids) worse, so it's best to limit how much you eat of them.

Topical treatments are also there instead of surgical treatment. Apply an over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream or suppository containing hydrocortisone, soak regularly in a warm bath, take oral pain relievers. If you take proper care in proper time, it would help you to get relief from it.
