Piles are usually of two types: dry or bleeding. The dry type of piles causes more pain and the bleeding kind of piles makes a person very weak. Dry piles cause an inflammation and continuous pain; the pain becomes unbearable while emptying the bowels. The bleeding piles cause anemia and weakness due to the loss of blood. Piles are caused due to unhealthy eating habits, chronic constipation, eating an excess of foods like meats, spicy and oily processed foods, wines, etc. It can also be caused due to lack of physical activity and exercise and an unhealthy liver. You need to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle in order to treat piles effectively and completely. Eat fresh simple foods such as raw fruits, which are high in fiber.

Eating well and keeping your body active will maintain a healthy digestive system that will prevent constipation and will help to treat piles.
