Doctor-Approved Habits for Pain Relief, Healing & Better Bowel Movement
Most piles patients concentrate on what they do during the day—but what you do at night directly affects your bowel movement the next morning.
From clinical experience, patients who follow a proper night routine experience:
Softer stools in the morning
Less straining
Reduced pain and bleeding
Faster healing
Lower recurrence risk
This blog explains a simple, practical night routine for piles patients, suitable for home treatment and long-term relief without surgery.
Why Night Routine Is Important in Piles
During the night:
Digestion slows down
The colon absorbs water from stool
Poor habits make stools hard by morning
If night habits are wrong, even the best diet fails.
Ideal Night Routine for Piles Patients
1. Eat Dinner Early (Non-Negotiable)
Late dinners worsen constipation.
Ideal dinner time: 7:00–8:00 PM Keep dinner light and easy to digest
Best dinner options:
Khichdi
Vegetable soup
Cooked vegetables + roti
Curd rice (in moderation)
Avoid heavy, oily, or spicy food at night.
2. Avoid Late-Night Snacking
Eating late at night:
Disrupts digestion
Hardens stool
Increases gas and bloating
If hungry, choose:
Warm milk
One fruit
Herbal tea
3. Take Adequate Fluids in the Evening
Many patients stop drinking water at night, causing dehydration.
Sip water till 1 hour before sleep Avoid large quantities at once
This keeps stool hydrated till morning.
4. Gentle Evening Walk (Highly Recommended)
A short walk improves digestion.
15–20 minutes after dinner Normal pace, no exertion
This simple habit alone improves bowel movement the next day.
5. Sitz Bath at Night (If Pain or Bleeding Exists)
Night sitz bath helps:
Reduce pain and burning
Relax anal muscles
Improve blood flow
Promote healing overnight
How to do it:
Warm water
10–15 minutes
Once daily at night during symptoms
6. Natural Stool Softener at Bedtime (If Needed)
If constipation persists, one option may be used:
1 tsp Isabgol with warm water/milk
1–2 soaked figs
Swach Tummy (as advised)
Avoid taking multiple laxatives together.
7. Avoid Screen Time Before Bed
Late-night screen use:
Increases stress
Disturbs sleep
Affects gut rhythm
Poor sleep = poor digestion.
8. Maintain Fixed Sleep Timing
Irregular sleep affects bowel rhythm.
Sleep by 10:30–11:00 PM Maintain same timing daily
A regular sleep-wake cycle trains the bowel naturally.
What NOT to Do at Night If You Have Piles
Spicy dinner Alcohol consumption Heavy non-veg meals Sleeping immediately after dinner Ignoring water intake
These habits delay healing.
