How to diagnose piles?

Chronic constipation can trigger piles, which is common in people with thyroid issues like me. Please consult a doctor for a proper clinical checkup, and keep track of your regular health parameters to address the root cause.

Piles are very common and easily diagnosed. A doctor will usually do a simple digital rectal examination or use a small instrument called an anoscope to check inside. Don't feel embarrassed, just get it checked so you can get the right ointment or treatment.

While a fiber-rich diet with lots of green veggies and salads helps prevent constipation, you still need a doctor to diagnose piles. Please visit a physician to get a proper physical checkup and diagnosis.

Yeah, a quick visit to a general surgeon is all it takes to diagnose piles. Don't worry, it is very common.

I have dealt with piles on and off for years. The diagnosis is simple, but make sure you consult a proper doctor rather than trying self-treatment. Drink lots of water and eat high-fiber food while you wait for your appointment.

I panicked like crazy when I first saw blood in the toilet, thinking it was something life-threatening. But the doc did a simple 2-minute exam and told me it was just mild piles. It is highly treatable, so don't stress!
