Some women may develop piles during their pregnancy and this is because the increased pressure on the abdomen, in the third trimester, may make the veins in your rectum and anus larger.

Some of the study participants received treatment at home, and others had surgery to remove their hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids recurred in 6.3 percent of the people who had surgery and in 25.4 percent of the people who received at-home treatment.

Changes in diet and your daily routine can help keep hemorrhoids from returning. Home treatments to relieve hemorrhoid symptoms can also prevent future flare-ups. Follow these tips:

• Eat the recommended amount of high-fiber foods and drink plenty of fluids to keep your stools soft and prevent straining during bowel movements. You can also speak with your doctor about taking a stool softener.
• Exercise regularly, which will help keep your bowel movements on a more regular schedule.
• If you’re overweight, lose weight to reduce the pressure on the veins in your rectum and anus.

There are many options for the piles treatment. But, first, it is very important to consult the doctor before starting the piles treatment. Your doctor might be able to see the external piles but for the internal piles, they will include an examination of your anal canal and rectum.

• Digital examination. Your doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into your rectum. He or she feels for anything unusual, such as growths.
• Visual inspection. Because internal hemorrhoids are often too soft to be felt during a rectal exam, your doctor might examine the lower portion of your colon and rectum with an anoscope, proctoscope or sigmoidoscope.

Your doctor might want to examine your entire colon using colonoscopy if:

• Your signs and symptoms suggest you might have another digestive system disease
• You have risk factors for colorectal cancer
• You are middle-aged and haven’t had a recent colonoscopy

Homeopathy is considered the best method for the piles treatment.

Homeopaths use substances found in nature that act as natural stimulants triggering self-healing mechanisms within the body. Homeopathy treats each person as an individual and is highly effective in treating both chronics as well as acute conditions. Homeopathy treatment allows the body to heal from within itself with absolutely no side effects or complications as it has no drug content. Homeopathy works on the basic principle of ‘like cure like’ which means that diseases can be treated by administering substances that would produce similar symptoms if given in overdose to a healthy individual. This is how homeopaths prepare their remedy, they select that substance or a substance group whose symptoms closely match with those of your condition. And then they dilute this substance in water (it is important not to confuse diluted solutions with distilled ones) but due to high energy vibrations inherent in water molecules, homeopathic remedies become activated and start to heal you from within. Homeopathic treatment for piles usually involves a series of homeopathic pills that are taken over a period of time. These pills are extremely safe to use and do not cause any side effects or interactions with other medications. Homeopathic treatment is similar in most cases for any disease or disorder, but some of these underlying conditions can take a long time to cure depending on their severity and the extent it has spread in your body. A homeopathy doctor will prescribe you remedies that are suitable for your condition along with some lifestyle changes like diet plan, exercise schedule, and dietary supplements sometimes. It is totally up to you how many sessions of remedy you need before getting back to good health. Homeopaths do not believe much in prescription drugs but may prescribe some analgesics according to need and give you an in-depth plan on how to address the pain.

What Causes Piles?

Piles may be caused by straining during bowel movement, constipation leading to long periods between motions, hormonal changes in women such as during pregnancy or menstruation, weight gain from eating junk food or more specifically certain foods like nuts which aggravate the condition. Stress can also trigger piles due to the stress hormone cortisol being released into the system triggering muscle tension. It has been observed that those who have had a history of piles in their family tend to develop the condition earlier than those who don’t.
