Adding some activity or exercise to your daily routine can help food pass quickly through the intestines. This will likely make bowel movements softer, making long periods of sitting on the toilet unnecessary.

Sitting at a desk or in a chair of any kind for hours on end can contribute to the condition. Try to spend part of your break or lunch hour engaging in an activity of some kind. Make time for workouts during the day or walk the stairs instead of taking the elevator. Adding more fiber to your diet by eating more fruits and veggies and limiting the amount of fast food you eat will help with the treatment of piles. These simple changes to your lifestyle can reduce many of the problems caused by piles.
