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:

1️⃣ 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.

✅ Add these to your diet:

• Legumes (beans, lentils)

• Fresh fruits (apples, bananas, berries)

• Leafy green vegetables

• Whole grains (brown rice, oats)

2️⃣ 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.

💡 Tip: Avoid exercises that strain your abdomen. Focus on walking, yoga, or light cardio.

3️⃣ Drink Plenty of Water

Staying hydrated is key to avoiding constipation. Water regulates digestion and eases bowel movements, making them smoother and less painful.

🧊 Aim for at least 8-10 glasses of water per day, and even more during summer or when you exercise.

4️⃣ Avoid Straining

Straining during bowel movements puts pressure on the rectal veins, worsening the condition. Be mindful not to delay nature’s call and avoid sitting on the toilet for long periods.

🚫 Don’t ignore the urge to go, and don’t use mobile phones while in the toilet!
