Early signs of piles include itching or irritation in the anal region, discomfort during bowel movements, swelling or a lump near the anus, and occasional bleeding after passing stool. These symptoms may be mild at first but can worsen without treatment.
To prevent piles from worsening, increase your fiber intake to soften stool, stay hydrated, avoid straining during bowel movements, and engage in regular physical activity. Practicing good hygiene and avoiding sitting for long periods can also help prevent exacerbation.
Mild cases of piles may resolve on their own with lifestyle changes, such as a high-fiber diet and increased hydration. However, more severe cases often require medical treatment, such as over-the-counter creams, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery.
The best treatment for piles depends on the severity. For mild piles, lifestyle changes and topical treatments may suffice. For more severe cases, medical procedures such as rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or surgical options like hemorrhoidectomy may be recommended by a specialist.
An anal fissure is usually caused by trauma to the anal canal, often due to passing large or hard stools. Other causes include chronic constipation, diarrhea, straining during bowel movements, and childbirth.
