Use anusol cream really good

There are a few things you can do: buy some anusol cream & apply as needed. I find that applying a thick coat before bed shrinks the piles right down. Also avoid staying long on the toilet and avoid constipation as much as possible. I take fybogel on a daily basis and it helps me to have looser stools.

Was prescribed a prednisolone cream to apply thrice a day until it stops the pain and discomfort. Very helpful. Also lukewarm water on it. Drink plenty of liquids and have some fiber so that your stool softens and piles don't worsen

I started iron tablets and then started going to the toilet up to 6 times a day. This resulted in me getting piles… Try a bath/ Warm flannel on area. Use flushable bottom wipes when you go toilet. Ensure the area is always dry and apply some anusol cream… speak to doctor and get some prescribed xx
