If you suspect you have piles (hemorrhoids), several non-surgical treatments can be used to manage pain and swelling. These include home remedies, over-the-counter medications, and office-based procedures like rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy. If non-surgical treatments are not effective or if you have severe symptoms, surgery may be necessary, with a typical recovery time of two to four weeks
