HI,
Constipation is not just a contributing factor to piles, but it can make the passage of stools excruciating when suffering from piles. In such situations it may be necessary to take laxatives. Successfully passing stools is however not the end of the problem and it is important to make changes to your diet, including more fibre rich foods and water to prevent the problem from recurring. Herbal and ayurvedic medicines are also available for treatment of piles. Consult your Doctor.
Take care and good luck.
