What to do if i have an affliction of piles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet and fluids: Since you are not clear whether these are internal or external 'piles' whether they are thrombosed, or bleeding, the best i can offer is warm tub soaks, hi fiber diet and drink 80 - 100 oz of non caffeinated, non alcoholic fluid daily. If they do not improve make an appointment with a local colorectal surgeon for complete evaluation.
