Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus, often causing discomfort, itching, and pain. Fortunately, with simple lifestyle changes, you can manage and even prevent this painful condition.
Here are 4 effective ways to control piles, as advised by Dr. V.K. Singh:
1οΈβ£ Consume Lots of Fiber
Including fiber-rich foods in your daily diet is one of the most effective ways to manage piles. Fiber softens your stool and increases its bulk, reducing the need for straining during bowel movements.
β Add these to your diet:
-
Legumes (beans, lentils)
-
Fresh fruits (apples, bananas, berries)
-
Leafy green vegetables
-
Whole grains (brown rice, oats)
2οΈβ£ Exercise Regularly
Daily physical activity improves digestion and helps keep the colon healthy. It also reduces pressure on the veins caused by sitting or standing too long.
π‘ Tip: Avoid exercises that strain your abdomen. Focus on walking, yoga, or light cardio.
3οΈβ£ Drink Plenty of Water
Staying hydrated is key to avoiding constipation. Water regulates digestion and eases bowel movements, making them smoother and less painful.
π§ Aim for at least 8-10 glasses of water per day, and even more during summer or when you exercise.
4οΈβ£ Avoid Straining
Straining during bowel movements puts pressure on the rectal veins, worsening the condition. Be mindful not to delay natureβs call and avoid sitting on the toilet for long periods.
π« Donβt ignore the urge to go, and donβt use mobile phones while in the toilet!
