Living with piles can feel like a never-ending problem. For many people in India, it is a silent struggle filled with pain during bowel movements, anal itching, and bleeding. But is piles a lifelong disease? Or can it be cured?

At Dr Batra's®, we believe that piles are not a permanent condition. With timely treatment, lifestyle changes, and the proper medical support, it can be managed and even cured. We offer safe and non-surgical solutions through homoeopathy, with over 350 doctors and 200 clinics globally, helping thousands find lasting relief.

Insights from a global study

A study published on ResearchGate found that individualised homoeopathic treatment led to a significant reduction in key symptoms such as bleeding, pain, and heaviness in haemorrhoid patients over 6 months.

Is Piles a Lifelong Disease?

Piles are not always permanent. It often flares up when specific triggers occur:

  • Chronic constipation or straining during bowel movements
  • Long sitting hours or a sedentary lifestyle
  • Eating spicy or processed foods
  • Pregnancy or postnatal pressure
  • Ignoring early symptoms or self-medicating

The good news? These triggers can be managed. With early diagnosis and lifestyle corrections, most people experience significant relief and even long-term freedom from symptoms.

What Makes Piles Worse in Daily Life

In Indian households, we unknowingly adopt habits that worsen piles:

  • Skipping nature’s call: out of routine or embarrassment
  • Overeating spicy, oily food: especially street food or wedding buffets
  • Using mobile phones in the toilet: for too long
  • Relying on laxatives: instead of solving the root cause
  • Heavy gymming or weightlifting: which increases anal pressure
  • Ignoring personal hygiene especially during summer or travel
  • Avoiding medical help: due to stigma or fear of surgery

These habits delay recovery and may lead to complications like thrombosed piles or fistulas.

Dr Batra’s® pro tip:

Haemorrhoids affect 1 in 2 people by age 50, with risks increasing over time. Homeopathy treats the root causes like poor digestion or constipation, providing gentle, long-term relief from pain and bleeding while preventing recurrences.

Can Piles Go Away Naturally?

Yes, early-stage piles (Grade 1 or 2) often go away with lifestyle changes:

  • Adding fibre-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
  • Drinking 8–10 glasses of water daily
  • Avoiding long sitting hours or adding short walks
  • Doing light exercises like walking or yoga
  • Responding promptly to bowel urges

But for severe or recurring cases, natural methods may not be enough. That’s where expert treatment matters.

FAQs

What is the main reason for the piles problem?

Piles mainly develop due to increased pressure on rectal veins from straining during bowel movements, chronic constipation, obesity, or sitting for long hours. This pressure leads to swelling and inflammation of the veins, causing pain, itching, and discomfort.

What causes piles in males?

In males, piles often result from gym-related heavy lifting, prolonged sitting, poor dietary habits, and low water intake. These factors cause repeated strain on rectal veins, leading to swelling and making men more prone to developing hemorrhoids over time.

Can piles heal without surgery?

Yes. Piles can heal naturally in many cases with lifestyle changes, high-fibre diets, and treatments like homeopathy. Homeopathy helps treat the root cause, reduce pain and swelling, and prevent recurrence, eliminating the need for invasive procedures in most cases.

What makes piles come back?

Piles often recur due to untreated constipation, lack of dietary fibre, dehydration, and ignoring early warning signs. Long sitting hours and not addressing the root cause also contribute to frequent flare-ups, making long-term lifestyle management essential.

Does stress affect piles?

Yes. Stress can worsen piles by triggering poor bowel habits, such as delaying toilet visits or causing constipation. Stress-related unhealthy eating patterns also contribute to irritation and swelling of rectal veins, aggravating piles symptoms over time.
