What are piles or hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids, commonly known as piles, are swollen veins in the lower anus. In other words, piles are lumps that form inside and around your anus due to various reasons. They usually improve on their own. However, a medical procedure is required to remove hemorrhoids in some cases.

What causes piles?
Hemorrhoids (or piles) are caused by a variety of factors, including-

• Chronic constipation or diarrhea
• Sitting for too long on the toilet 
• Obesity
• Consumption of a low-fiber diet
• Anal intercourse 
• Heavy lifting on a regular basis

 

How to manage your piles’ condition?

What to wear- Any tight-fitting clothing can irritate the skin, hence dress comfortably while sleeping. Sleep without underwear. The skin in your anal area has more room to breathe and repair if you sleep without underwear.

What to eat- Avoid eating meals that are high in spice content as spicy and oily foods may cause you to go to the bathroom frequently, which can aggrevate your piles. Eat more fiber-rich food, as high-fiber food helps to soften stool.

How to sleep
One of the most important aspects of managing the condition of your piles is the way you sleep. Here are a few helpful tips:

• Maintain a position that does not put any strain on your anal area whenever you sleep
• Sleep on a soft mattress, since sleeping on a rough mattress can aggravate the problem
• Don’t sleep on your back. This might create pressure on your anal area and cause it to swell
• The best way to sleep if you have piles, is on your side. Sleeping on your side reduces the amount of pressure on your back
