I've been dealing with really bad piles and heard thuthi leaf might help but I'm breastfeeding my 4-month-old is it safe to take? I don't want surgery, what else can I try for relief?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Thuthi leaf lacks safety data in breastfeeding. Try stool softeners, high-fiber diet, and topical creams. Sitz baths can provide good relief without surgery.

However, these should be used cautiously and not for long periods without consulting a doctor. High-Fiber Diet: To avoid constipation and straining, encourage your husband to consume a high-fiber diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) and drink plenty of water. This can help soften stools and reduce pain during bowel movements.
