  • Piles are also known as hemorrhoids and are referred to the inflammation of veins just outside the rectum. They can be of two types- external piles and internal piles.  External piles are located right outside the anus and cause a great deal of pain and discomfort and internal piles are located inside the anus and cause bleeding. Piles have nowadays become a common complaint owing to sedentary lifestyles, chronic constipation, intake of a faulty diet and lack of exercise.

    What causes piles?
    Piles are caused by various factors such as chronic constipation, excessive intake of junk food, consumption of alcohol, smoking, obesity, pregnancy, hypertension, stress, tension, prolonged periods of standing or sitting and general weakness of the body tissues.

    Symptoms of piles:
    These include pain while passing stools, presence of blood in case of internal piles, feeling of soreness and irritation after defecating and the inability to sit due to excessive itching and pain in the anus.

    Treatment of piles:
    Diet:
    If you are looking to get rid of piles, you must first try to get rid of chronic constipation. You must include loads of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet that are high in fiber content so as to boost metabolism and enhance digestion. The food you eat must comprise of adequate roughage that helps enhance the bowel movements and treats constipation.

    Fresh fruits and vegetables such as pears, peaches, pineapples, apples, grapes, figs, papayas, mangoes, guava, oranges, spinach, onion, tomatoes, lettuce, beets, peas, French beans, cauliflower, pumpkin, sprouts, celery and turnip should be liberally included in your diet. You must increase your water intake to 8-10 glasses per day to treat this condition. Water not only helps detoxify the body but also helps soften the hardened stools.

    Onions: These are highly beneficial for reducing pain caused by piles. When piles cause excruciating pains that it becomes impossible for the patient to even sit down, onions come in handy.  Take an onion and bake it along with its skin. Grind it into a paste and fry in clarified butter. While still hot, place the paste on the piles and apply a dressing.  This helps soothe the pain. You can also take an onion and chop it finely. Fry it along with caraway seeds in clarified butter. Mix with sugar candy and eat. This is quite beneficial for treating bleeding piles.
