Dear lybrate-user, avoid drinking water on empty stomach this will resolve your problem drink water only when your are thirsty and not on any measurement that you need to drink 8-10 glasses of water to survive. Nature has made us in such a way when body needs water it will initiate thirst so that we drink water.

Dear Lybrate user, piles leads to constipation. Better consult one general surgeon for per rectal examination and grading of piles. Take high fiber diet, drink atleast 2 to 3 litres of water per day. Don't neglect the symptoms. If you need any medication or further management you can consult me through private conversation so that I can help you further.
