In general terms, 'piles' is a condition where the veins in the anal region get swollen and start to bleed.

"Piles are abnormally enlarged and dilated blood vessels (mainly veins) around the back passage or anus. They are also known as haemorrhoids," explains Dr Mrunal Ketkar, associate professor, department of surgery, Bharati Vidyapeeth, Pune.

Piles are not to be confused with fissures. "Most patients who come to us complaining of anal bleeding think they have piles; in many cases, though, bleeding could involve 'fissures' which is a temporary injury to the anal passage caused by hard stools," she says.

Treatment and prevention

Dr Mrunal stresses on the need to inculcate the right bowel habits during childhood itself; this goes a long way in avoiding piles in the long run.

The best way to clear up existing piles is to avoid constipation. By having regular bowel movements, stools pass easily and do not put pressure on the blood vessels in the anal area. Slowly, the condition improves.

Also, the stools should be soft, so they pass easily, thus decreasing pressure and strain.

One should try to empty bowels as soon as possible, when the urge occurs.

~ Diet control

Most piles cases can be cured by diet control. According to Dr Mrunal, increased fibre in the diet helps reduce constipation and straining by producing stools that are softer and easier to pass.

She advises the following important changes to diet:

Eat plenty of fibre-rich foods such as fruits, especially papayas and figs, vegetables and wholegrain cereals (eg brown rice, whole wheat bread), lot of greens, raw salads.
Have fruits, instead of fruits juices; most fruits contain high fibre.
Drink plenty of fluids, especially water, to keep bowel movements soft
Those suffering from piles should strictly avoid hot and spicy food, and non-vegetarian food too.
Diet changes helped Sanjana Mane, 30, a software manager with an IT firm in Pune. "I was a coffee addict and it resulted in acute constipation and in due course, I was affected by piles as well. It was so painful, it was getting impossible to sit on my chair for work. I was restless through out the day."

Severe diet control and regular intake of water throughout the day is what cured the problem for her.

~ Exercise

"Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, this will aid your bowel movement," says Dr Mrunal.

If u want to get rid of piles, and that too without medicines, one should resort to ayurveda or homeopathy.Chronic constipation and bowel disorders cause piles.Just by eating particular veggies, piles can be treated-mango, turnip,radish, ginger or onion.Even exercise plays an important role in correcting the rectal region.Some people complain that an injection is the most painful. But there are people who think that an anesthetic would eb best to camouflage this pain.

There is no injection which can cure the piles.CryoSurgery is the best treatment for the piles.( It is not considered as an operation at all)

depending upon grade of pile ( anal hemorrhoids ) doctor decide the management............if the grade is not high , through cautrisation ur problem can be solved....In cautrisation a syringe filled with cautrising agent is injected in the collapsed veins..........It is not an operation........and takes 15 minutes..............but if the degree or grade is high. cautrisation will not help ...........there are several minor operations both in allopathy and ayurveda. for piles of high degree..................

hello rajeev

yes it can be cured by differnt method

eat plenty of fibre-rich foods such as fruit, vegetables and wholegrain cereals (eg brown rice, wholemeal bread and wholemeal pasta)
drink plenty of water..

There are a number of over-the-counter treatments that can help relieve the symptoms of piles, but won't cure them.
Soothing creams, ointments and suppositories may ease pain and itchiness. There are many different products available without prescription. Some contain a local anaesthetic such as lidocaine.
Products containing corticosteroids, such as Anugesic-HC and Proctosedyl, may reduce inflammation and pain.

Piles operation is simple; get it done. Use ointments to control Piles pain. After motion sit in hot water tub. Do not eat chillies. Injection can not control the swelling for long time.
