Lets take a look on some of the medical treatments available to you and see how good they are:

Surgery to cure external piles.

Always remember that when suffering from internal or external piles, surgery is the last resort used if the condition become severe. Surgery is quite painful with longest recovery time. you can judge the severity of hemorrhoids through the prolapsing of internal piles and the size of the lump caused by clotted blood in external piles. One does not start off with a sever case of external pile and in earlier stages there are lots of home remedies to cure external piles so getting a surgery is only good if you exhausted all your options for finding a solution at home which is highly likely as home remedies are proved to be most useful in external piles. A major drawback of surgery is that it wont cure external piles permanently so a chance of recurring would always be present afterwards.

Rubber band Litigation for external piles.

Rubber band litigation is a technique used to cure external piles by putting a rubber band around the affected hemorrhoids to cut off blood supply to them. This makes the tissue to shrivel and die and finally removed naturally. This process is renowned to have above 80% chance to cure external piles but remember that rubber band litigation is also painful and while putting the band over damaged hemorrhoids a little mistake could cause you high degrees of pain. Instead one could mix a paste of a ripe banana in fresh milk and eat it everyday to cure external piles painlessly.

NSAIDs (Anti-inflammatory drugs) and Laxatives for external piles.

Constipation is not only the major cause of external piles but it constantly aggravates the situation further and that is where laxatives comes in. Laxatives makes the passing of stool much painless, relieve the pressure on hemorrhoids and cure it too. NSAIDs target the tissues of hemorrhoids specifically to relieve the swelling. Prescribed or medical laxatives are notorious for creating another problem which is lazy colon syndrome. It creates dependence on laxatives. A good alternate would be eating dates which are a natural laxatives in itself while not creating the lazy colon syndrome. NSAIDs mostly contain steroids and have adverse side effects, giving them up for home remedies would be a better idea to cure external piles.

Overview of External Piles:

There is a 4% to 20% chance that a person could suffer from piles (both internal and external piles) and this probability is much higher in people aged between 45-65 years. This illness striking the hemorrhoids is pretty painful mainly when a person suffers from external piles. Although perfectly curable through home remedies and medical treatments but it is much better to avoid it altogether. To avoid external piles one must understand what cause it first.

Causes of External Piles:

1. Hardened stool strains hemroids and put a lot of pressure and cause hemorrhoids inflame or swell.

2. Irregular bowel movements, mainly constipation, is one of the major reasons to cause external piles.

3. Temporary external piles is frequently reported in pregnant women but they are automatically cured usually after the delivery.

4. Dietary habits and obesity, too, are one of the major reasons of external piles.

5. Minor reasons include: waiting for long periods before satisfying nature’s call for bowel movements, sitting too much on hard surfaces and toilet seat, less exercising and tumor putting pressure on hemorrhoids.

Practices to avoid external piles:

1. Try to change/improve your dietary habits as fiber makes the stool soft so it could move without strain. It is advisable to avoid fiber supplementary pills as they are less likely to become a part of your daily routine in reference to long term needs of fiber in your body. Eating fruits (easily digestible, and helps in curing both internal and external piles) is a good choice with whole grains and avoiding regular eating of fast foods and highly spicy foods is a must too.

2. Whenever you suffer from constipation try to have it treated quickly. Another thing to remember in constipation is to not to strain yourself to satisfy your bowel movements. Take your time and shift on to high  fiber diet. Always remember that constipation (and chronic constipation) contribute most in the forming of external piles.

3. Pregnancy causes a lot of abdominal pressure on hemorrhoids and so cause external piles to manifest. After every six or so hours try to lie down on your left side for 20 minutes to relieve the pressure on hemorrhoids. Although there is a high chance that external piles caused by pregnancy would cure itself after delivery.

4. Exercise a lot and mainly focus on exercises that focus on your abdominal muscles and obesity. Weak abdominal muscles leave the pressure on the lower body muscles to pass the stool thus causing external piles. Obesity is having your hemorrhoids strained all the time so keep an eye on your weight.

5. For minor reason: never put your bowel movements on wait, if you are required to sit down for most time then try to sit on soft surfaces and never take too much time on toilet seats to avoid external piles.

Internal or external piles or hemorrhoids are common names of conditions in which the tissue mass (hemorrhoids) in anal canal or rectum swell due to some reasons and make it difficult to pass stool, excrete blood with the stool and cause pain.

Difference between internal and external piles:

In internal piles you will find only blood coming out with your stool and it is not painful at all in usual cases. Internal hemroids are located inside the rectum while external hemorrhoids are in anal canal which is a pretty sensitive area. A rupture in veins could trigger accumulation of blood in anal canal’s hemorrhoids which makes a lump around your anus and usually referred as clotted hemorrhoids. External piles are visible as veins around anus in less severe cases while in worse cases it comes out of anus and that is the point where external piles usually needs a surgery or other treatment methods to be removed.

Causes of external piles:

Prolonged periods of constipation, irregular bowel movements and dietary habits are the most usual triggers of piles. Irregular bowel movements and constipation puts pressure on hemorrhoids to trigger the condition of external piles while dietary habits leads to hardened stool which is very difficult to pass and so strain hemorrhoids greatly; resulting in external piles.

Symptoms of external piles:

The usual suspects here are the sensation of burning in and around anus when passing stool, bleeding afterwards and irritation caused by itching. A lump forming around anus is another major symptom of external piles and is formed due to clotted hemorrhoids. In earlier stages, external piles could be difficult to be confirmed as they don’t begin to prolapse but afterwards one’s external piles starts to prolapse which automatically retracts in. Further stage would need one to push the prolapsed external piles back inside and in severe cases external hemorrhoids are too much prolapsed to be pushed back inside and this is a very painful stage and usually calls for drastic measures as in surgically removing the external hemorrhoids.

There are both medical and home remedy related cures for external piles and it depends on what you prefer most as both ways are sure to cure external piles.
