A diet rich in complex carbohydrates and high in fibre is highly recommended for getting relief from piles. Fibre helps to relieve constipation and avoid straining, which both are major risk factors for developing hemorrhoids. Oatmeal, barley, whole-grain cereals, beans, leafy vegetables like spinach (palak) and fenugreek (methi) and citrus fruits like oranges are a few fibre-rich sources that can be included.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply petroleum jelly: People suffering from hemorrhoids\/piles often spend time straining during their bowel movement. A lubricating agent like petroleum jelly can help you to avoid straining if you use it just before passing a bowel movement.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Increase water intake: Apart from fibre that helps in moving the digested food smoothly through the intestine, water helps to determine the consistency of your stools. When you drink less water, your intestinal walls absorb water from your stools to make them hard. And, hard stools cause constipation and straining which leads to piles. Hence, you should drink a lot of water so as to maintain stool consistency and preventing constipation and dehydration<\/span><\/p>\n . <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Piles otherwise known as hemorrhoids are enlarged, painful veins in your rectum.
