When I start using Germoloids, how long should it take for my piles to go away?

It depends on how troublesome they are. Normally, if your condition is not too serious, you'll notice a difference within a few days.

What can I do to stop getting piles again?

Make sure your diet contains plenty of fibre, drink lots of fluids and increase the amount of exercise you get. These measures will help prevent constipation, one of the main causes of piles. Check out the lifestyle section of our site - it's packed with advice on how to avoid the problem.

In my job I have to sit at a desk all day in front of my computer. Will this give me piles?

Sitting down for long periods does increase the odds. Make sure you take regular breaks - by law you are entitled to time away from your computer screen to avoid eyestrain. In these breaks stand up and walk around. At lunchtime, take a walk, even if it's just round the block. In the evening, take advantage of all that energy you've stored up during the day - go out and do something that gets you moving and increases your heart rate.

Where can I buy Germoloids
