Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

According to history, you have had piles of a greater degree. Your local anal examination and proctoscopy examination have to be done to check the rectum and anal area to look for ulceration associated with piles. Take less spicy foods. Do not strain during defecation.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be prescribed, like Brufen (Ibuprofen), for pain and inflammation relief. Stool softeners like Cremaffin syrup can be taken to reduce the friction while passing stool, and a water sitz bath is useful. If you are having prolapse-associated or non-treatable piles with medication, then surgical intervention might be needed.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
