Haemorrhoids (piles)
Haemorrhoids (piles) are swollen blood vessels found along the anal walls and the anus. Constipation worsens piles and therefore a change in diet and increased water intake is important. There are natural treatments that claim to reduce piles but the most successful is the surgical removal of piles. Doctors usually prescribe a healthy diet along with the use of fiber supplements to prevent the reoccurrence of haemorrhoids. Creams are used to relieve itching along the area.
