Is there any good solution for piles... other than surgery?

Yes: Everyone has hemorrhoids or piles - keeping them quiet is the key. Avoiding straining, having soft bowel movements, avoiding toilet paper and using moist wipes can all stop hemorrhoidal flares.

Psyllium Fiber: If you want to only care for this without any surgical intervention, then psyllium fiber or an equivalent is likely the best treatment for long term. Make sure you purchase unflavored psyllium. Start with a teaspoon a night mixed in 16 oz of water every night. Unless they are stuck out and causing significant pain or itching, surgery can usually be avoided.
