Initial-stage piles (hemorrhoids) can be cured with conservative treatments, such as increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, exercising regularly, and practicing good bowel habits consider warm sitz baths, stool softeners, or laxatives to alleviate symptoms, but if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a proctologist or gastroenterologist for further guidance.

Question

I've been dealing with this really uncomfortable pain and burning sensation in my anus for the last couple of months. At first, there was some blood too, so I thought it might just be a small cut or something and I tried using Boroline on it. The bleeding stopped, which is good, but the pain and burning are still there, mostly when I'm using the toilet. Could you please give me some advice on how to make this go away?

Question

I've been applying Smuth cream for my piles as prescribed, and it's been helping to reduce the size. But now, I've started experiencing really itchy sensations around my anus and the area beneath my scrotum. It's gotten to the point where I can't stop scratching, and now there's this flaky, dry skin developing and peeling off when I do. The doctor suggested I try a sitz bath, but I'm just wondering if there's anything else I should be doing or if this is something to be concerned about? Its really uncomfortable, so any advice would be appreciated.

Question

I've been dealing with really bad bleeding from piles since giving birth, and I'm currently breastfeeding my 3-month-old. Can I safely use factu ointment, along with magnesium sulphate powder and glycerin? What else can I do to stop the bleeding?
