Piles alternative cures

Every time I pass stools which are soft (I don't strain) the piles come out, big and painful. I push them back in. My doctor wants me to go to emergency to see a specialist. She mentioned a blood clot was present. Can any of your remedies help?

Hemorrhoids or piles are a very common ailment today. This condition is caused due to an inflammation of the veins that are present inside or outside the rectum. There are primarily two types of pile; internal piles and external piles.


In external piles there is no bleeding but the individual may experience a lot of pain, whereas internal piles are characterized by the discharge of blood and little or no pain. At times the veins may burst giving rise to bleeding piles. Pain during a bowel movement, bleeding and a feeling of irritation and soreness after a bowel movement are some of the more common symptoms of this condition. In some cases an individual suffering from piles may face a difficulty in sitting on account of pain, discomfort and itching in the rectal area. Some of the primary causes of this condition are bowel disorders and chronic constipation.  

The act of straining to evacuate constipated bowels leads to pressure being exerted on the rectal veins, ultimately leading to piles. This condition is also common during pregnancies. Here are a few home remedies that can help deal with this condition. Figs are excellent when it comes to treating piles. Take a few figs and wash them thoroughly in warm water. Now soak them overnight in a glass of water. The next morning both the figs as well as the water should be consumed, on an empty stomach, and the procedure has to be repeated in the evening as well. This treatment should be continued for 2-3 weeks to yield results.

Radish is also considered to be useful in treating piles. Grate a piece of radish (about a tablespoon) and mix this with a teaspoon of honey. This should be had twice a day. You could also have a glass of radish juice (60 ml) twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Turnip leaves are also helpful in treating piles. About 150 ml of the juice that has been extracted from the vegetables leaves should be had daily. The juice can also be mixed with watercress or spinach juice. Please bear in mind that your physician is a trained professional, thus if she has suggested that you visit a specialist, she must be having substantial reason to do so. I would strongly recommend visiting a physician that specializes in this field, in order to prevent any further complications.

Piles alternative cures 

Piles are a clear indicator that there is a dire absence of fiber in your diet. The kind of piles you describe are usually the result of extremely hard stools that pass with a lot of strain. If you are saying that you do not strain and that your stools are soft, it is highly recommended that you follow what your doctor is saying. It appears that you have hemorrhoids that have not healed and are severe enough to be a presence that can be pushed back. There is no remedy to cure this problem at home, since it may also require surgery. However, you can follow some simple guidelines for relief from the intense pain. Remember that these may help you, but may not provide a permanent solution to your problem.

One of the most highly effective remedies to provide relief is to apply aloe vera gel directly to your hemorrhoids. This will reduce the pain almost instantly. You can also apply olive oil, which has some very good healing properties. If your piles also burn and itch, you can use chilled tea bags for cooling relief. A thick paste of turmeric powder and clarified butter applied to the anal area and a little bit inside will also help you to heal and will fight infection.
