Natural Cure for Piles
Hemorrhoids or piles are basically veins and tissues in the anal area that become inflamed due to a variety of reasons, mainly involving excessive pressure on this area. The most common cause of hemorrhoids is chronic constipation, as a result of which the tissues and veins in the anus become swollen and irritated. On the other hand, frequent diarrhea can also cause a person to strain during bowel movements, thus giving rise to hemorrhoids.
The condition often involves burning, itching, and pain, particularly when passing stools. You have not mentioned any symptoms, and your brief description does not particularly seem to indicate hemorrhoids, so if you have not yet got a diagnosis from a doctor, you should do so before attempting any treatment.
If you do indeed have hemorrhoids, the main thing you need to control is your diet. This will help you to pass stools normally, and within a week or so, the hemorrhoids will heal on their own. Hot baths and cold compresses are only temporary solutions, meant to ease the pain and discomfort of the hemorrhoids, but these measures do not get rid of the hemorrhoids themselves. Instead, you need to drink plenty of water everyday, and eat lots of fruits and vegetables, particularly those that are rich in fiber.
