I'm dealing with a bad case of piles for about a week now, and it hasn't improved. I'm not dealing with any other medical issues at the moment. What would you suggest I do next?

Leg Pain Due to Cold Air Exposure
Possible Causes
- Cold-induced vasospasm: Exposure to cold air from fans or ACs can cause blood vessels in your legs to constrict, leading to pain.
- Muscle cramps: Cold air can also cause muscle cramps, especially in the legs.
- Poor circulation: Reduced blood flow to the legs can contribute to pain, especially in cold environments.
Self-Care Measures
- Avoid direct exposure: Try to avoid sitting directly under fans or ACs.
- Dress warmly: Wear warm clothing, especially on your legs, when in cold environments.
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to maintain blood flow and circulation.
- Stretch and move: Regularly stretch and move your legs to improve circulation.
When to Seek Medical Attention
- Severe pain: If pain is unbearable or worsens over time.
- Persistent pain: If pain persists or recurs frequently.
- Other symptoms: If you experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in your legs
