Develop good bowel habits such as not delaying using the bathroom and wiping carefully afterwards. A healthy diet and exercise routine can cut back on piles.
Do not delay bowel movements. If you need to use the bathroom, do so right away. Delaying bowel movements can cause stools to harden. The more strained you feel on the toilet, the more likely you are to experience piles. If you feel you need to defecate, do so without delay.
If your bowel movements tend to be regular, try to be near a toilet during times of the day you know you will get the urge to go.
Avoid taking too long in the bathroom. You should keep things like magazines and other reading materials out of your bathroom. These can cause you to linger on the toilet longer than you normally would. It's best to limit the length of your bowel movements to avoid unnecessary strain that could cause piles.
Keep the anal area clean. When you shower, make sure to wash the anal area with warm water. Do not use soaps, especially scented soaps, as these can irritate the anal area and cause piles.
Stay hydrated. Healthy stools are primarily made up of water. Things like infrequent or unpredictable bowel movements and diarrhea can cause piles. Make an effort to stay hydrated throughout the day, as this can reduce your risk for piles.
Have a water bottle on hand at all times. Take sips throughout the day.
Drink water with meals instead of soda and juices.
If you see a water fountain, always stop by and take a drink.
Add more fiber to your diet. A lack of fiber can cause bowel issues that lead to piles. A good way to prevent piles is to increase your overall fiber intake. Fiber is found in foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole wheats.
Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables throughout the day. Have veggies as a side for every meal and snack on fruits when you're hungry.
Go for 100% whole wheat breads and other grains.
Exercise regularly. Regular exercise can help prevent bowel issues, such as constipation, that can cause hemorrhoids. Make sure to get in some physical activity each day to cut back on your risk for developing hemorrhoids.
Strive for at least 150 minutes of aerobic activities, like brisk walking or running, each week. A good way to get the exercise in is to strive for 30 minutes, five days a week.
You should also incorporate strength exercises, such as weight lifting, two or more days each week.
In addition to exercising regularly, try to spend less time sitting. This can reduce pressure and lessen piles.
