Piles

Categories: Obstetrics or Midwifery

When these are troublesome the rectum should be emptied by a small
dose of salts, and the parts thoroughly washed with warm water, the piles

pushed back and local lotions applied (see treatment of piles). Hot

fomentations of witch-hazel frequently give great relief to the piles as

well as to the varicose veins. Regular movements of the bowels usually

will prevent piles. Piles will not usually give rise to much trouble

unless constipation exists.
