I'm just wondering if it's okay for someone who recently had an open surgery for piles to eat foods cooked in mustard oil. Also, what are the foods, especially vegetables and fruits, and drinks she should avoid after this surgery? Any home remedies that could help her with the recovery? And is there a way to treat piles permanently without having to go through surgery again?

Yes, a patient who has undergone open surgery for piles can consume mustard oil in moderation, as it does not directly affect recovery. To aid healing, she should avoid spicy, fried, and processed foods, as well as alcohol. Focus on a high-fiber diet with fruits like papaya and vegetables, stay hydrated, and avoid constipation by drinking plenty of water. For prevention without surgery, maintain a high-fiber diet, regular exercise, and avoid prolonged straining during bowel movements.

I've had both internal and external piles for three days now, and there's this sticky, transparent mucus discharging from them. The lump isn't getting any smaller; it's still hard and just sits outside my anus, causing some mild pain and itchiness. Do you think it's time to consider surgery? Also, is there any way to stop the mucus discharge?

There may be an infection in the perianal region. It is best to follow up with your surgeon and get operated as soon as possible before further complications arise.

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.
