Regular and healthy bowel movement is a blessing in itself. Those who have to strain a lot during morning bowel movements may at times develop piles or hemorrhoids that hurt a lot. The hemorrhoids are nothing but engorged veins of rectum. They are just like varicose veins that occur in legs. But due to engorgement in rectum and anal region, there might be associated bleeding, excruciating pain, and unsatisfactory stools. At times, due to excess straining at stool, the person may develop fissure problem too.
Well, the conventional medicine treats piles by surgery and laxative medicines that ease out bowel movements. But homeopathy believes that in more than 90% of cases, surgery can be totally avoided and homeopathic medicines can prove extremely beneficial to cure hemorrhoids. We have seen almost all patients of pile got cured and are without any recurrences after quality treatment.
Homeopathic medicines like Aloe vera, Aesculus, Hamamelis, Ratanhia, Graphites, etc work wonders for patients. Well, classical homeopathy believes in single medicine and therefore the patent homeopathic medicines (containing combination of various medicines) are not recommended by classic homeopathic physicians. Instead they use dilutions in 30C or 200C potencies to alleviate the symptoms of hemorrhoids. Depending upon the severity of symptoms and necessity of local action, the dosage is decided by expert homeopathic doctors.
The healing takes place from inside out. Therefore, first of all, the symptoms of piles are reduced significantly within first week of treatment itself. Obviously the doctor needs to prescribe apt constitutional medicine to prevent recurrence again. The medicines for hemorrhoids have to be taken orally and mere local application can do nothing besides soothing for certain period.
The doctor must also educate patient and convey the following auxiliary treatment for hemorrhoids-
(1) Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water every day
(2) Have maximum fiber content in your food. Green leafy veggies must be there in dinner so that he next day morning bowel movements will be better
(3) For those with hard stools, having a glass of warm milk with a spoonful of honey before sleeping works good for healthy bowel movements
(4) Sedentary habit is one of the causes of hemorrhoids. Have enough exercise at least thrice a week to help remain free from hemorrhoids
When one follows all the above guidelines and takes properly chosen homeopathic medicine, hemorrhoids pain and/or bleeding goes off forever!
