Why Creams Don’t Solve Piles – And What Works Instead

By PilesCare – Official UK Distributor of Pilex Tablets

Many people reach for over-the-counter creams to treat haemorrhoids and while they may soothe the surface, they rarely offer lasting relief.
Why? Because piles are an internal issue that needs an internal solution.

In this blog, we cover:

  • Why topical creams offer only temporary relief
  • The internal causes of haemorrhoids (according to modern and Ayurvedic medicine)
  • Why oral tablets like Pilex are more effective for long-term healing
  • What real users are saying

The Problem with Piles Creams

Creams are everywhere in pharmacies, online shops, and bathroom cabinets. But here’s what they don’t tell you:

  • Creams don’t fix the cause of piles
  • They work only where they’re applied (external piles only)
  • The relief is temporary  symptoms return when the cream wears off
  • Many contain synthetic ingredients that can cause skin sensitivity

Creams = short-term comfort
Pilex = long-term support

What’s Really Causing the Discomfort

Whether it’s pain, itching, or bleeding piles always have an internal trigger.
These are the most common root causes:

  • Chronic constipation
  • Straining during bowel movements
  • Poor circulation in the rectal veins
  • Digestive imbalance or inflammation
  • Sitting for long periods

Topical creams can’t reach these causes. But herbal tablets can.

When Should You Still Use a Cream?

For external piles only, a topical cream may provide short-term itch relief.
But it should always be paired with an internal protocol for long-term results.

Pilex is the core, not the crutch.

Takeaway: Surface Relief vs. Systemic Support

Creams soothe.
Pilex supports.

If you’re tired of chasing symptoms and want to finally get to the bottom of your piles  start from the inside.
