Ease from your piles
Hemorrhoids (also known as piles) occur when rectal veins become swollen, itchy, painful and tender, often from straining to move the bowels. The American Gastroenterological Association says the following options may help control hemorrhoids: -Add more fiber to your diet in the form of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. -Drink plenty of liquids each day. -Use a stool softener or fiber supplement. -Soothe with a bath, cold pack or bed rest. -Wipe gently with a moist tissue after a bowel movement. -If symptoms continue, consult a colorectal surgeon.
