Diet for Piles Patients – Foods to Eat and Avoid
Diet plays a very important role in the prevention and management of piles (haemorrhoids). Constipation and straining during bowel movements are among the main causes of piles, and both can be controlled with the right food choices. A balanced, fiber-rich diet helps soften stool, improves digestion, and reduces pressure on the anal veins.
At Goyal Piles & Laser Centre, patients are always advised to maintain proper dietary habits along with treatment to ensure faster recovery and prevent recurrence.
Why Diet Matters in Piles
Low-fiber food, insufficient water intake, and irregular eating habits often lead to constipation. Hard stool increases pressure during bowel movements, which worsens piles symptoms such as bleeding, swelling, and pain. Including the right foods in daily meals can significantly improve bowel habits and reduce discomfort.
