How to shrink internal piles?

I've been dealing with internal piles for some time now, and they are quite uncomfortable. Are there any effective ways to shrink internal piles without surgery?

In our family, we always emphasize eating fiber-rich foods like papaya and drinking warm milk with a spoon of ghee at night to keep bowel movements smooth. Sitting in a tub of warm water (sitz bath) for 15 minutes twice a day gives immense relief to the swelling. But do not strain in the toilet, child.

Piles ka pain bada kharab hota hai, haan. Fiber intake badhana padega aur paani khoob piyo taaki constipation na ho. Agar stool soft rahega toh internal swelling apne aap thoda kam ho jayegi, but doctor ko ek baar dikha lena zaroori hai na.

Honestly, sitting on college chairs for hours made my piles so much worse. I started eating more oats and bananas, and drank like 3-4 liters of water daily. It really helped ease the pressure and pain down there.

Actually yaar, spicy food is the biggest trigger for piles. I had to completely stop eating spicy schezwan and chatpatta street food for a month. Sticking to simple dahi-chawal and doing sitz baths helped me recover really fast.

Internal piles can be managed well if caught early. The main goal is to avoid constipation, so use a footstool to elevate your knees while using the toilet, as this position reduces straining. If you notice blood in your stool, please consult a general surgeon for a proper diagnosis.

With our busy desk jobs, sitting in one place for 8 hours is the biggest culprit. I started using a standing desk and set reminders to walk every hour. Combine this physical movement with a high-fiber diet, and if there is bleeding, book a specialist appointment immediately without wasting time.

I feel so embarrassed to even ask this, but does internal piles cause a dull ache in the lower back too? I am constantly worried it will require surgery. Has anyone successfully cured it just with diet changes?
