I have grade 3 piles. How can I get relief from the pain and discomfort?
Bayyarapu Mahesh Kumar

Grade 3 piles can be very painful and uncomfortable, and while simple measures like sitz baths, a high‑fiber diet, and good hydration may ease symptoms, they do not cure the condition; the safest step is to consult a doctor, who will perform the necessary tests and suggest the most appropriate treatment such as rubber band ligation, laser surgery, or hemorrhoidectomy, depending on your medical condition. Self‑medication should be avoided, and regular medical follow‑up is important to prevent complications.
I think I may have piles along with regular constipation. Can you suggest safe and effective Ayurvedic remedies for this?

Piles (haemorrhoids) are often linked to long-standing constipation and straining during bowel movements, so the main goal is to make your stools soft and easy to pass. From an Ayurvedic point of view, simple and safe remedies can be quite helpful. You can take isabgol (psyllium husk) with warm water or milk at bedtime to improve bowel movement, and Triphala powder at night is also commonly used to support digestion and reduce constipation. Drinking plenty of water, eating fibre-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and including natural laxatives like soaked raisins or figs in your diet can make a big difference. Taking warm sitz baths (sitting in warm water for 10-15 minutes) can help reduce pain and swelling in the anal area. Try to avoid spicy, oily, and processed foods, and do not strain or sit for too long in the toilet. Regular physical activity also helps keep your digestion smooth. If you notice bleeding, severe pain, or no improvement despite these measures, it is important to consult a doctor to rule out more serious conditions and get proper treatment.
Is surgery necessary when haemorrhoids come out?
Dr. S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
Surgery is not always necessary when haemorrhoids (piles) come out. Many cases improve with a high-fibre diet, adequate fluids, stool softeners, medicines to reduce swelling and pain, or minor procedures like rubber band ligation. Surgery may be considered if the haemorrhoids cannot be pushed back or if your symptoms remain severe and persistent after trying conservative treatments.
I have had piles for the last 30 days. Which medicine should I take for pain relief and bleeding?
Dr. S Aneela

For piles with pain and bleeding, doctors usually recommend sitz baths, topical creams or ointments with mild pain relief, and sometimes oral painkillers. Avoid self-medicating with potent medications and consult a doctor for proper treatment.
