I am suffering from piles and want relief from the pain first. What treatment or medicines would you recommend?
Pain from hemorrhoids (piles) can be relieved with simple measures such as warm sitz baths (sitting in warm water for 10-15 minutes), eating a high-fiber diet, drinking plenty of water, and avoiding constipation or straining during bowel movements. Doctors may also prescribe medicines like Lidocaine or Hydrocortisone cream to reduce pain, swelling, and irritation. If the pain, bleeding, or swelling continues, it is important to consult a doctor, as further treatments may be needed.
