For the prevention of Piles and other diseases you have to cultivate regular habits in food and exercise. It is essential that fibre-containing foods like fruits, and vegetables also should be included in sufficient quantities. As far as possible, fruits should be taken with the outer covering and the habit of preparing fruit juice in modern mixies discarding the fiber containing residue, should be discouraged.
Taking lot of water is good for the prevention of Piles as well as stones in the urinary passage. It is not advisable to sit for a long time at one stretch. Straining too much in toilet and going to the toilet at frequent intervals is not advisable. And the system of taking laxatives and purgatives is also a bad habit. But fibre-containing bulk producing laxatives like Isabgol Husks can be taken in sufficient quantities for re-educating the bowel habits.
By adopting suitable family planning methods, number of deliveries should be brought down so that incidence of Piles also will be reduced. Even if you are well, it is advisable to go to your doctor or Hospital for a complete medical check-up periodically for prevention of disease as well as for the detection of early warning signs.
10 to 15 out of every 1000 patients coming to us presenting with the symptoms of Piles are having malignancy of Colon and Rectum. Most of these patients land up late, after undergoing prolonged treatment by alternative systems of medicine without proper local examination. The tragic part of the story is that they again go back to native treatment even after diagnosis of Malignancy confirmed by Biopsy.
Now we have got effective diagnostic and preventive methods for Diabetes, Hypertension, and Heart disease even before the patient is aware of it. So by taking the necessary corrective measures by changing food habits, physical exercise and also by avoiding smoking and excessive drinking of Alcohol, you can be a useful member of the society. Once you become ill, it affects not only your health but it affects the health of the family, society and the nation at large.
