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.
