Dear-thanks for using our service, I read your question with care and will give you my medical advise. The ointment and suppositories don't produce hemorrhoids (piles) but help the inflammation and the pain. You need to increase the fiber and the water in your diet, eat fruits as prunes and add a stool softener to help that the stools will be softer.The stool are hard due to your food habits, so need to improve that and your stools will be better.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
