I've been dealing with piles for about 4 years now most days it's manageable but sometimes the pain gets really bad. Are there any non-surgical treatments or lifestyle changes that could help reduce the flare-ups?

High-fiber diet, hydration, and Sitz baths may reduce pile symptoms‚Äîsurgery is only needed if conservative methods fail.
