Piles Are Literally A Pain in The Butt !

Some things are just not easy to talk about! I think hemorrhoids are classified in this category..don't you?

When your rectal area itches and burns who you gonna tell? Probably no one! So how do you get relief without and embarrassing trip to the doctors office?

There are many old wives tales about how to heal "piles" Just a few below are listed below.

1) Whitch Hazel...in gel or compresses...I alsways cringe at this thought because it seems that it would be sort of an astringent and sting like H_ _ _!

2)Fiber and lots of it...well in most cases if you have constipation you are usually not eating enough fiber so this would be good to start.But go slooow...or you will end up with not only a "pain in the butt" , also gas and abdominal cramps!

3)Water...now if you add fiber, water is a must or you will get even more constipated .If there is no water to help move the fiber through your system.

4)Herbs...this is an area that you need to do your research in or have reliable information before you start using herbs because they can have side effects also.If pregnant you MUST contact your doctor before ever using any herbs or creams!

Then there is the last chance for releif and that is the trip to your doctors office.Now here is where things can get a little crazy.Surgery may be dangled in front of you if this is not your first episode.But think about the irony of surgery.This does not address the real cause and can even cause a condition know as adhesions that can cause irreprerable damage and chronic pain !

So the best advice is to try all the options above and get some good information from people who have cured thier piles on thier own.

There is so much more that can be done...so you don't need to suffer one minute longer!
