Hemorrhoids

Signs and Symptoms

The symptoms of piles subside on their own in a few days. However, in some cases, these must not be ignored. Since ignoring the initial symptoms can lead to serious complications, keep a check on these symptoms:

• Rectal Pain
• Itching
• Bleeding
• Sore and redness in the anus area
• Mucus discharge

Homoeopathy and Haemorrhoids

Sanjivani Homeopathy Clinic offers a range of homoeopathic medicines tailored to individual symptoms and constitution to provide gentle and effective relief from haemorrhoids. Remedies such as Aesculus hippocastanum, Aloe socotrina, Graphites, Nux vomica, Pulsatilla, Sulphur, Arnica montana, Calcarea fluorica, Hamamelis virginiana, and Ignatia target specific symptoms like soreness, itching, bleeding, and pain associated with haemorrhoids.

Homoeopathic Medicines

1. Aesculus Hippocastanum

   When this remedy is needed, haemorrhoids are sore and aching, with a swollen feeling. Pain may last for hours after the bowels have moved. People who need this remedy often have the sensation of a lump or a feeling that a lot of small sharp sticks are inside the rectum, poking them. Sharp and shooting pains may be felt in the rectum and back. A person who needs this remedy may also have low back problems.

2. Aloe socotrina

   Haemorrhoids that are swollen and protrude "like a bunch of grapes" and are soothed by cold soaks or compresses may be helped with this remedy. Haemorrhoids may alternate with diarrhoea, and the person may have a lot of flatulence.

3. Graphites

   relieves constipation without urges, very large and dry stools, with a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and often associated with anal itching and burning, and haemorrhoids.

4. Nux vomica

   relieves haemorrhoids caused by a sedentary lifestyle, and overeating and drinking, especially of spicy and rich foods and alcohol.

5. Pulsatilla

   When this remedy is indicated, haemorrhoids are itchy and uncomfortable, with sticking pains. They are likely to protrude, with improvement after lying down. Warmth often aggravates the symptoms. This is a very helpful remedy for haemorrhoids that appear during pregnancy or around the menstrual period.

6. Sulphur

   Itching, burning, oozing haemorrhoids accompanied by a feeling of fullness and pressure in the abdomen suggest a need for this remedy. The anus is inflamed and red and may protrude significantly. The person may feel worse from warmth and bathing, and have flatulence with a strong, offensive odour.

Other Remedies

1. Arnica Montana

   Sore, bruised-feeling haemorrhoids may be relieved with this remedy, especially when straining or over-exertion (for instance, childbirth or heavy lifting) has brought on the haemorrhoids.

2. Calcarea Fluorica

   This remedy may be indicated for haemorrhoids with bleeding and itching in the anal region, or internal haemorrhoids causing soreness in the very low back and sacrum. The person may also have problems with flatulence and constipation.

3. Hamamelis Virginiana

   improves venous circulation and relieves haemorrhoids that are painful with the slightest contact and bleed easily.

4. Ignatia

   Haemorrhoids accompanied by spasms and stabbing pain in the rectum suggest a need for this remedy—especially if the person is sensitive and emotional. Stitching pains can be felt in the rectal area when coughing. Bleeding and pain are often worse when the stool is loose, and rectal prolapse sometimes follows bowel movements.
