  • Increase your intake of fiber. Fiber-rich foods include beans, nuts, seeds, vegetables (e.g. peas, artichokes), fruits like raspberries, pears, and oats.

Experts warn against this practice for too long. To absorb oil leaking from your undergarments, you might want to try this.
  • When you’ve gotta go, GO. Refusing to bowel movement can lead to constipation that can then be worsened, which can then lead to Piles.
  • Your feet should be elevated. Sitting on the toilet and elevating your feet with a step stool may help you to pass stools more easily.
  • Visit the drugstore. There are many over-the-counter remedies for Piles. These include witch hazel-infused creams and pads, as well as Preparation H, and its generic counterparts. These products may not work. Ask your doctor for prescriptions.
  • It is best to soak it. Sitz baths can help. You can use a basin that is small enough to fit under your toilet seat to soak the affected area for 10-15 minutes twice daily in warm water.
