Can a change in diet and lifestyle provide relief from piles and fissures?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern, and it's great that you have taken steps like stopping tea and coffee. The fissure and external piles are often caused by chronic constipation and hard stools, which can be painful. I recommend following a naturopathy diet and practicing certain habits. For breakfast and dinner, include papaya and banana in your mother's meals, and avoid any other food. For lunch, opt for curd rice. In between meals, encourage her to consume buttermilk, fruit juices, tender coconut water, lemon juice with salt, cucumber juice, and pumpkin juice. It's important to avoid spicy and hot foods.

Additionally, you can try a sitz bath by filling a bucket with cool water and sitting in it with the buttocks immersed for about 30 minutes. This can be done three times a day before meals and should provide some relief. Applying pure cow ghee on the fissure can also help. Please note that I am unsure about the availability of authentic Ayurvedic, Siddha, or herbal drugs in Mediterranean countries. However, I suggest trying syrup Hemidesmus indicus (if available) four times a day before meals. These suggestions should provide relief, but if the condition persists after following them for a week, it's important to rule out other possibilities such as vascular problems (e.g., portal hypertension), bleeding due to anticoagulation therapy, or tumors. In such cases, it would be advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for a sigmoidoscopy.

Thank you.

I hope your queries are resolved and any further queries are welcome.
