For the prevention of Piles and other diseases you have to
cultivate regular habits in food and exercise. It is essential that fibre-containing foods
like fruits, and vegetables also should be included in sufficient quantities. As far as
possible, fruits should be taken with the outer covering and the habit of preparing fruit
juice in modern mixies discarding the fiber containing residue, should be
discouraged.
Taking lot of water is good for the
prevention of Piles as well as stones in the urinary passage. It is not advisable to sit
for a long time at one stretch. Straining too much in toilet and going to the toilet at
frequent intervals is not advisable. And the system of taking laxatives and purgatives is
also a bad habit. But fibre-containing bulk producing laxatives like Isabgol Husks can be
taken in sufficient quantities for re-educating the bowel habits.
By adopting suitable family planning
methods, number of deliveries should be brought down so that incidence of Piles also will
be reduced. Even if you are well, it is advisable to go to your doctor or Hospital for a
complete medical check-up periodically for prevention of disease as well as for the
detection of early warning signs.
10 to 15 out of every 1000 patients
coming to us presenting with the symptoms of Piles are having malignancy of Colon and
Rectum. Most of these patients land up late, after undergoing prolonged treatment by
alternative systems of medicine without proper local examination. The tragic part of
the story is that they again go back to native treatment even after diagnosis of
Malignancy confirmed by Biopsy.
Now we have got effective diagnostic and
preventive methods for Diabetes, Hypertension, and Heart disease even before the
patient is aware of it. So by taking the necessary corrective measures by changing food
habits, physical exercise and also by avoiding smoking and excessive drinking of Alcohol,
you can be a useful member of the society. Once you become ill, it affects not only your
health but it affects the health of the family, society and the nation at large.
