Hemorrhoids are also called piles.
They are swollen veins in your anus and lower rectum, like varicose veins.
Hemorrhoids can develop inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids).
Piles is a common complaint nowadays. Almost three out of four adults will have hemorrhoids from time to time.
Hemorrhoids have several causes, but often the cause is unknown.
Many people get relief from home treatments and lifestyle changes.

Risk factors :
As your age, your risk of hemorrhoids increases. That’s because the tissues that support the veins in your rectum and anus can weaken and stretch. This can also happen when you’re pregnant, because the baby’s weight puts pressure on the anal region.
Complications :
Complications of haemorrhoids are rare. Few complications can see below:
- Anaemia : Chronic blood loss from hemorrhoids may cause anaemia.
- Strangulated hemorrhoid : If the blood supply to an internal hemorrhoid is cut off, the hemorrhoid may be “strangulated,” which can cause extreme pain.
- Blood clots in hemorrhoids can cause pain.
Prevention & Homeopathic Treatment :
The best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to keep your stools soft, so they pass easily.
Homeopathic medicines can help in such cases if the stool is hard.
To prevent hemorrhoids and reduce symptoms of haemorrhoids, follow these tips:
- Eat high-fiber foods. Eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
- Drink plenty of fluids. Drink six to eight glasses of water and other liquids (not alcohol) each day to help keep stools soft.
- Do not strain. Straining and holding your breath when trying to pass a stool creates greater pressure in the veins in the lower rectum.
- Go as soon as you feel the urge. If you wait to pass a bowel movement and the urge goes away, your stool could dry out and be harder to pass.
- Exercise. Stay active to help prevent constipation and to reduce pressure on veins.
- Avoid long periods of sitting. Sitting too long, particularly on the toilet, can increase the pressure on the veins in the anus.
Continue homeopathic treatment in piles until it gets completely better. Homeopathy works on the root cause which will help to get rid of complaints in the long term.
