Haemorrhoids (piles) often settle down after a few days without treatment. However, there are a number of treatments that can help reduce any itching and discomfort.

Making simple lifestyle changes through diet and exercise is usually the first recommendation.

Dietary changes

If constipation is the cause of your haemorrhoids, you need to keep your stools soft and regular. This will help you avoid straining to pass stools.

Increase the fibre in your diet and aim to eat 25-30g of insoluble fibre a day, such as wholegrain bread, cereal, and fruit and vegetables.

The body is unable to digest insoluble fibre, so it passes through the bowels and helps other food and waste move through more easily.

Also drink plenty of water. Aim to drink at least six to eight glasses of fluid a day and avoid too much caffeine (found in tea, coffee and cola).

Avoid straining to pass stools because it may make your haemorrhoids worse. After passing a stool, use moist toilet paper rather than dry toilet paper to clean your bottom.

Using baby wipes can help ease any discomfort that you have after passing a stool. Pat the area around your bottom rather than rubbing it.

Creams, ointments, available over-the-counter from pharmacies, can be used to relieve any swelling and inflammation that you have around your back passage. However, they will only treat your symptoms and will not cure the haemorrhoids themselves.

I hate to say it, but they are usually caused by you straining when you go to the toilet. Relax, and don't force ..... the process.... If you get what I mean.

One thing I did not see anyone say is that not always blood on the stool means hemorrhoids.

You have to see the color of it, if is reddish, then probably a burst hemorrhoid or small tear of the rectum wall due to strain; but if is already a little brownish and quite gooey, you might have a more serious problem that range from ulcers to colon growths. Furthermore, the technical term for hemorrhoids is thrombosis, which means, a vein got twisted and inflamed. Sometimes those are dangerous and need a surgical solution.

You should check with a doctor if bleeding continues or is the brown gooey blood.

There are lots of things you can get at a Pharmacy to help.

They will probably sort themselves out, you could try a simple a Ibuprofen dosage to help reduce the swelling or discomfort.

If it doesn't clear up with 5-7 days, go and see a Doctor.

I agree they can be caused by strainning too hard and if you have to do that it sounds like you have a history of constipation because you can't get them from a single instance it ussually over a period of time. I would look at your diet an increase the fiber and the amount of water you drink everyday.
