I have been suffering from piles for the past 4 years, and it is very painful, but still in the early stage without any bleeding. What can I do to manage it and get relief?

Long-term painful piles without bleeding are usually due to constipation, straining, and pressure on the veins over time. Keep stools soft by drinking plenty of water, eating fibre-rich foods, avoiding straining, and taking warm sitz baths to reduce pain. Stay active, avoid long sitting, and maintain regular toilet habits to prevent flare-ups. If pain continues or worsens, consult a doctor to guide proper treatment and long-term relief.

Use warm sitz baths, plenty of water, and a high-fibre diet to soften stools and reduce pain. Apply a prescribed haemorrhoid cream and avoid straining. If pain continues, consult a doctor as 3rd-stage piles may need a procedure.
