How to manage symptoms of piles?

Question

Hi doctor,

My mother is suffering from piles. She has bleeding during bowel movements with pain. She has bleeding every time while trying to pee with painful bowel movements. She is suffering from this issue for three days. She has pain while having bowel movements alone. Her stool is normal. She has a past history of this similar issue. But her problem got resolved after taking medications in the past. But there is no relief due to medications at this time for reducing the pain or bleeding.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your mother can take capsule Tranxemic acid 1 mg twice daily for three days for stopping the bleeding. Please mention whether she has hemorrhoids alone. Hemorrhoids cause painless bleeding. An anal fissure is caused due to a breach in the lining of the anal canal. It can cause painful bleeding. For pain, she can also use Xylocaine gel 2% (anesthetic) three to four times daily with nozzle or Diltiazem gel three to four times daily. She can take Isabgol husk daily. Take two tablespoons daily with water. She needs to do some blood and stool tests to rule out the cause of bleeding. She may require a colonoscopic examination of the large bowel for screening purposes. Have a follow-up with the results of the investigations.
