Summary

Depending on the cause of the hemorrhoids, some medicines, such as collinsonia, hamamelis, belladonna and sulphur, may be useful. It's also good to get regular exercise, such as long walks. Other treatments include warm sitz baths several times a day, a high fiber diet (for piles caused by recurring constipation), and -- in the most extreme cases -- surgery.

Details

• If this sounds like what you do, you may be at the risk of developing what is commonly known as piles or haemorrhoids.
• Piles are a very common condition- at least 50 per cent or more of people are said to have a problem at some point or the other.
• Piles are swollen blood vessels in and around the anus and lower rectum.
• Normally with chronic constipation there can be mucous tags, which are minute protrusions.
• They are painless and sometimes bleed a lot during bowel movements.
• If they protrude from the anal opening and cannot be pushed back, they can cause severe pain.
• External (outside) haemorrhoids develop under the skin around the anus and can easily be felt or seen as a lump.
• For piles during pregnancy, Collinsonia can be given, and as homeopathic medicines do not have any side effects, it is safe to take these medicines during pregnancy.
• For piles experienced by women during the period of menopause we consider Aesculus Hippocastanun.
• Sensitive lumps of various sizes around the anus may be seen, these may occur singly or in bunches.
• For piles that occur in bunches, like a bunch of grapes, sloe is the medicine.
• The haemorrhoids may bleed; the bleeding from the anus may appear with the stool, or after the stool.
• Drinking good amounts of water, at least 8 to 10 glasses of water and fluids a day, facilitates good bowel movement.
• Sitz baths, sitting in plain, warm water two to three times a day for about 10 minutes each time, decreases the swelling.
• In homeopathy, along with the specific treatment of the haemorrhoids, the constitutional treatment that focuses on removing the root cause goes a long way in treatment and prevention of haemorrhoids.
