The right cure for piles depends on the severity of the condition and its symptoms.
In most cases, the treatment can begin at home with self-care methods to relieve the uncomfortable sensations that piles can cause.
There are various things you can do at home to help soothe the pain and we will be taking a look at some of the best proven methods for home treatment below.
•One of the first things you can do to relieve the pain of piles is to take several warm baths throughout the day.
It is a very simple but effective method and you literally just have to relax for around ten minutes at a time in a warm bath.
Do not add any soap, bath oils or creams and do not make the water too hot.
•Sometimes you will feel the pulsing of inflamed piles and a regular ice pack applied to the area will help to soothe the burning and swelling.
An ice pack should be wrapped in cotton or another natural material so as not to cause freeze-burn.
•There are some special creams that you can purchase, which can help as a cure for piles.
Other medications will come as a suppository which will be inserted into the anus.
Petroleum jelly can also be used, providing some lubrication to the area and protecting tender areas of the inflammation.
•When you are suffering from piles it is important that you do not make yourself anymore uncomfortable than necessary - which means no fancy pants! Wear comfortable cotton underwear and loose shorts or trousers.
•After each bowel movement, clean the area by using toilet paper dampened slightly with warm water or use a gentle cleansing wipe such as those used for babies that contain no irritable ingredients.
All of the above methods will be helpful in relieving the initial symptoms of piles and in most cases, the piles will clear up on their own within a week or two.
However, you will need to take more care in the future to prevent their return and have a good look at your diet and lifestyle in general.
Sometimes discovering what factor or factors have caused the condition is the best way to start determining the best cure for piles.
