What is the best treatment for piles, also known as hemorrhoids? Obviously this may depend on the type of piles and severity, and in rare cases surgery may be necessary, but most may be treated easily and quickly at home.
Of course always consult your doctor with any medical issues.
First, how do you know you have piles? There may be severe itching, pain, burning, and even bleeding around the anal area.
In some cases you may have inflamed piles protruding or even grape like clusters around the anus.
These are actually inflamed and swollen veins which are normally present.
They can be internal or external, and external piles if distended may extend outside the anal cavity.
In any case discomfort can range from incredibly extreme to almost none.
The best treatment of piles for most sufferers includes a warm bath combined with ibuprofen or another non-steroidal anti-inflammatory like naproxen.
The NSAIDs will reduce swelling and discomfort and also act as a pain reliever.
Soaking in warm water will also ease discomfort and you may soak 15 to 20 minutes several times a day.
This can be inconvenient or impossible to do many times a day, but even if working, once in the morning, once after work, and once before bedtime can ease your discomfort enormously.
A device called a Sitz bath makes this easier and more convenient and may be purchased at many pharmacies.
It's basically a special basin that sits on top of your toilet.
There are also many topical creams and ointments available that you can apply after you remove yourself from the bath and gently dry the region.
Preparation H may be the best known but there are many effective ones.
They often contain an astringent and/or an anesthetic.
They are also available as prepackaged medicated wipes which makes them easy to apply on the go, for example in public rest rooms.
They can be seemingly near life savers for the treatment of piles.
Preventing piles from occurring in the first place involves general healthy practices, but first concentrate on avoiding constipation which can aggravate them and cause flare ups.
Remember that the veins are normally present and healthy, but their being inflamed and swollen is not! Avoid anything that causes undue pressure like constipation.
Eating plenty of fiber and drinking lots of water is recommended, as well as generally adhering to healthy eating habits.
Exercise and weight loss, if overweight, also eases piles and are a necessary part of the best treatment of piles, preventative treatment.
This is yet another reason to lose weight if you're overweight and to get regular exercise!
