Piles is found in two forms – when there is no bleeding but pain is severe and unbearable and whole rectum smarts, aches due to painful passage of hard, dry and knotty stools. Another form is of bleeding piles when there is much oozing of blood from the rectum and there are grape-like boils in and around the anus. The eruptions look like bunch of small grapes.<\/p>\n

\n3. Take plenty of milk, green and leafy vegetables, pulpy fruits, coconut water, radish, cane sugar juice etc.
\n4. ‘fake 1 -2 TSP of Isapghul husk with lukewarm milk Some pure desi ghee nay also added but do not use any strong purgative.<\/p>\n
Treatment : Liquid Cremafm, 1 TBSP should be taken at night before retiring to bed, otherwise mix 1-2 TSP of Isapghul husk to milk which should be taken at bed-time. Locally apply ointment anovate or proctodsedyl in the rectum (the latter being a bit costlier) with the applicator at night, before and after defecation (each time) so as to facilitate smooth passage of stools or use rectal capsules of proctosedyl-M. Main emphasis should be to ensure smooth passage of stools. In some persons hypersensitivity to the ingredients may cause some problems in which condition stop using the local ointment etc., and consult your doctor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
