Be assured that while bleeding and painful piles (haemorrhoids) can be distressing, they are very common and highly treatable. For immediate relief, you can sit in a warm water bath (sitz bath) for 15-20 minutes and apply a topical cream containing lidocaine to numb the pain. To make bowel movements easier, take stool softeners like lactulose and increase your fibre intake with psyllium husk. You can also take paracetamol for pain relief. However, because you are experiencing bleeding, it is very important to consult a doctor or proctologist promptly for a proper evaluation and safe, targeted treatment.
