I've been dealing with piles for the last 10 years and even had surgery at Stop Piles. But now, I'm feeling the pain again. What should I do? Is there something else I can try to find relief?

The common reason for piles is constipation. It is among those who are involved in jobs that require sitting for long hours. People who do not indulge in any form of exercise and movement of the body are more vulnerable to piles.

I'm really worried and wondering if what I'm dealing with is a hemorrhoid. It started itching really badly after I had anal sex without using any lube, and as soon as we were done, I felt uncomfortable. I checked and saw something protruding, so I tried to push it back in, but that didn't seem to help. Now it feels bigger, it itches a lot more, and it's still protruding. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

That could be hemorrhoid,visit your general surgeon for evaluation and appropriate management,donot attempt to scratch it or push it back inside.

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.
