Although there aren’t any natural remedies for haemorrhoids, there are some things you can do to keep yourself from getting piles.
For starters, make sure you’re eating enough fibre so your poo will be easier to pass, and wipe your bottom gently with damp toilet paper after you poo to avoid further irritation.
Try not to push too hard when you poo, as this pressure can make your haemorrhoids worse.
If your piles are itchy, try taking a warm bath to ease your discomfort, or sit on an ice pack and take paracetamol if they’re causing you pain.
Do not take any painkillers that contain codeine to ease the pain caused by piles, as this can make constipation worse, which can make piles worse in turn.
