Fortunately, many disappear or shrink considerably once the child is born. Increase your fluid intake. Constipation is a common cause of piles. It is often a result of inadequate fluid in the bowels. This may be due to drinking too many of the wrong kinds of beverages or not drinking enough of the right kind. Caffeine and alcohol are diuretics. They encourage the body to release stored water and can lead to constipation. Drink at least eight glasses of water, non-caffeinated soft drinks or herbal tea each day. Experts recommend using cold packs many times a day. Just once will not really do the trick. After using a cold pack, the experts recommend putting a warm moist towel in the region for several minutes. The goal is to keep the surrounding area moist. Exercise which can also be done within the house and in one's compound is very important as it helps in increasing circulation of blood in the whole body and particularly the affected area. However, caution must be taken to ensure that the exercise and physical activity undertaken is not too strenuous to impact negatively on the swollen veins. Use Witch Hazel. Witch Hazel is a clear liquid astringent sold in pharmacies. Because it causes blood vessels to contract, it is a useful remedy for the minor bleeding associated with some cases of piles. Using baby wipes soaked in witch hazel instead of toilet paper can decrease irritation following bowel movements.

This will prevent moisture collecting, which can irritate hemorrhoids very badly. Other types of materials do act as collection points. Try also to ensure the clothing is not too tight, and allow air circulation and freedom of movement. This may help in some relief for discomfort.
