About This Treatment
For early-stage piles (Grade 1 and Grade 2), conservative management is the first line of treatment and highly effective when followed consistently. This approach focuses on reducing straining, softening stools, and shrinking swollen hemorrhoidal tissue through dietary and lifestyle changes.
At Shraddha Hospital, our doctors guide you through a personalised conservative plan including high-fiber diet, increased water intake, sitz baths, stool softeners, and topical creams or suppositories to reduce pain and swelling. Most patients with early-grade piles achieve complete relief within 4–6 weeks of conservative treatment.
