What could be the ideal lifestyle modifications for patients with piles? - Dr V. Sarveswaran - Video

For patients dealing with piles (hemorrhoids), implementing ideal lifestyle modifications can significantly alleviate symptoms and improve overall rectal health. A high-fibre diet comprising fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and adequate water intake softens stools, easing bowel movements and reducing straining. Regular exercise helps prevent constipation and promotes healthy digestion.

Avoiding prolonged sitting or standing and taking breaks can alleviate pressure on the rectal area. Practising good toilet habits by not delaying bowel movements and ensuring gentle cleaning without excessive wiping is essential. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding heavy lifting can reduce the risk of piles. Incorporating these lifestyle modifications forms a crucial aspect of managing piles, offering relief and preventing exacerbation of symptoms.

Sareswaran, Consultant Surgeon and head of the Department of General Surgery, Sri Ramakrishna Hospital Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, explain lifestyle modifications for patients with piles (hemorrhoids). The video focuses on creating patient awareness and understanding about effective lifestyle changes to alleviate piles symptoms.
