How do I know if I have high cholesterol levels. What are the symptoms. What is it that I have to avoid. I drink regularly and smoke too. Also I need to know if piles are caused by drinking. I have a swelling at the anus ans there is a lot of pain. Is it because of piles.

Get a lipid profile done to see your cholesterol levels. The triad of smoking, drinking and high cholesterol levels will lead to arterial blockage and subsequent cardiac problems. I think you are having a small or mild form of anal fissure with thrombosed pile. Avoid spicy/oily/junk food. Drink lot of water. Do sitz bath (hot foamentation of anal region by sitting in a tub of luke warm water) thrice a day for 15 min. For queries and other treatment related issues you can consult me at my clinic/online.
