How can I treat the early stages of piles? Is it possible to cure them, and what steps can I take to get rid of this problem as soon as possible? I'd really appreciate some advice on this.

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.
