Piles are commonly referred to as hemorrhoids.
This problem is caused by inflamed veins around the anus.
This is not a life threatening medical condition, but it is still problematic due to the pain inflicted by the swollen veins.
The first thing you should do, if suffering from this condition, is to consult a doctor to help decide which piles treatment you should use.
Treatment can be very diverse, but the most common is the hemorrhoids home treatment, which is known to have a better effect and is also affordable for absolutely anyone.
Firstly, as you may already know, prevention is better than treatment, therefore here is a short list hemorrhoids causes for you to consider in order to avoid dealing with this issue:

• You should avoid strain when emptying your bowel.
  
• Avoid constipation, as it may lead to hemorrhoids.
  
• Also avoid diarrhea, because recent studies have shown that it may cause piles, therefore you should treat diarrhea as soon as you can.
  
• Pregnant women should also watch out for hemorrhoid problems, because they are very common when the weight of the baby presses on the veins and restricts the blood-flow.
  
• Another cause of hemorrhoids in pregnant women is during birth, when the veins are again augmented and the blood does not flow properly.
  
• Try exercising daily bowel movements.
  By doing so, stools will no longer apply pressure on the veins and restrict blood-flow.
  
• Stay away from Mexican, Indian, Thai and other such foods, do not eat any sort of spicy food and definitely avoid pickles.
  
• Eat as much natural fibers as you can to help your body with the digestion.
  
• If none of the above has worked, try laxatives or natural fish oil.
  

As mentioned before, treatment can be easily done at home, with simple remedies, such as hemorrhoid cream.
If you did not manage to cure piles yourself, you should definitely see a doctor.
After having informed him of your symptoms, you will have to undergo a physical examination.
This can be done manually by the doctor, by palpating the interior of the anus to search for internal hemorrhoids.
This is done in order to exclude more severe conditions before diagnosis and give you a proper treatment.
One treatment includes a barium test.
This is done by means of an enema, can only be done in a hospital and is only resorted to when extremely necessary.
A liquid dye that shows up on x-rays is inserted into the anus.
The pictures taken of your lower abdomen will clearly show your condition.
One common piles treatment is not treating it at all.
Many people who had suffered from this condition have stated that it had cleared on its own.
Be that as it may, it is a risk we do not advise you to take, first of all because coping with this medical problem for a long time without any treatment whatsoever means having to deal with unimaginable pain.
It is an unnecessary risk, because, as presented above, home remedies are perfectly affordable for anyone.
So wait no longer and take care of yourself and your problem.
Piles prevention is easier than treatment.
Take the advice aforementioned, you will have no problem in living a healthy life without having to resort to piles treatment.
