I'm dealing with some really bad burning and itching in my anus, plus there's bleeding too. It's super painful when I go to the bathroom, and I feel the burning and itching all day long. Is it possible to treat piles completely without surgery? Can I get rid of it completely with just medication? What can I do to sort this out?

Consult your doctor before adding flaxseeds to your diet, especially with kidney problems.

Flaxseeds are high in oxalates, which can worsen kidney stone formation or exacerbate existing kidney issues.

However, flaxseeds also have anti-inflammatory properties and omega-3 fatty acids, which may benefit kidney health.

Your doctor can help determine if flaxseeds are safe for your specific kidney condition.

If approved, start with a small amount (about 1 tablespoon) and monitor your body's response.

Regularly follow up with your doctor to adjust your diet and treatment plan as needed.
