Supplements for Haemorrhoid (Piles) Comfort
Haemorrhoids (piles) are swollen veins in the back passage. Daily fibre and water keep stools soft and reduce straining, which is the most useful everyday step. Our top picks are a vein-support supplement, a herbal pill, psyllium fibre, a topical gel and an herbal product from Ruzu. Bleeding that does not stop or a change in bowel habit needs a doctor.

How to Choose
Start with fibre and fluids every day, since they help whatever else you use. Add one of the other products, not all at once. The gel is applied on the skin only. Avoid sitting on the toilet for long, avoid straining, and keep the area clean and dry.
What Are Haemorrhoids?
Haemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in or around the anus. They may cause itching, discomfort, a lump, or bright red blood on the tissue after passing stool. Common triggers are constipation, straining, pregnancy, long periods of sitting, heavy lifting and low-fibre diets.
When to See a Doctor
See a doctor if you see blood in your stool for the first time, if bleeding is heavy or lasts more than a few days, if you have dark or black stool, pain that is severe, a hard painful lump, weight loss, or a change in bowel habit. Rectal bleeding can have other causes, such as bowel disease, that need to be checked, particularly over age 45.
What Supplements Can and Cannot Do
Fibre, water and gentle hygiene help many people. Topical and herbal products are used for comfort, but they do not remove haemorrhoids, and evidence for herbal pills is limited. Persistent or bleeding piles may need medical treatment.
Precautions and Interactions
- Take fibre with a full glass of water and two hours apart from medicines.
- Gels are for external use only; stop if you get irritation or rash.
- Herbal pills: ask a doctor first if you take blood thinners or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Do not use any product to treat bleeding without first having it checked.
- Avoid straining and try not to delay going to the toilet.
