Piles : Know more about it !
Piles are also known as haemorrhoids, they
are basically swollen blood vessels in and around anus and rectum. It is quiet
complicated condition as it creates problems in day to day working of the
patient. Modern medicine offers invasive procedures for the condition which at
times does not go well for the patient. Homeopathy offers excellent treatment
and management of the condition. Let us first understand what piles is?
The haemorrhoidal veins are located in the
lowest part of the rectum and the anus. Sometimes they swell so that the vein
walls become stretched, thin, and irritated by passing bowel movements.
Haemorrhoids are classified into two general categories: internal and external.
Internal hemorrhoids lie far enough inside the rectum
that you can't see or feel them. They don't usually hurt because there are few pain-sensing
nerves in the rectum. Bleeding may be the only sign that they are there.
Sometimes internal hemorrhoids prolapse, or enlarge and protrude outside
the anal sphincter. If so, you may be able to see or feel them as moist, pink
pads of skin that are pinker than the surrounding area. Prolapsed hemorrhoid’s
may hurt because they become irritated by rubbing from clothing and sitting.
They usually recede into the rectum on their own; if they don't, they can be
gently pushed back into place.
External hemorrhoids lie within the anus and are often
uncomfortable. If an external hemorrhoid prolapses to the outside (usually in
the course of passing a stool), you can see and feel it. Blood clots sometimes
form within prolapsed external hemorrhoids, causing an extremely painful
condition called a thrombosis. If an external hemorrhoid becomes thrombosed, it
can look rather frightening, turning purple or blue, and could possibly bleed.
Despite their appearance, thrombosed haemorrhoids are usually not serious and
will resolve themselves in about a week. If the pain is unbearable, the thrombosis
hemorrhoid can be removed with surgery, which stops the pain.
Anal
bleeding and pain of any sort is alarming and should be evaluated; it can
indicate a life-threatening condition, such as colorectal cancer. Hemorrhoids
are the main cause of anal bleeding and are rarely dangerous, but a definite
diagnosis from your doctor is essential.
What causes hemorrhoids?
Anyone at
any age can be affected by hemorrhoids. They are very common, with about 50% of
people experiencing them at some time in their life. However, they are usually
more common in elderly people and during pregnancy. Researchers
are not certain what causes hemorrhoids. "Weak" veins - leading to hemorrhoids
and other varicose veins - may be inherited.
It's likely
that extreme abdominal pressure causes the veins to swell and become
susceptible to irritation. The pressure can be caused by obesity,
pregnancy, standing or sitting for long periods, straining on the toilet, coughing,
sneezing, vomiting, and holding your breath while straining to do
physical labor.
Diet has a pivotal role in causing - and
preventing - hemorrhoids. People who consistently eat a high- fiber diet
are less likely to get hemorrhoids, but those who prefer a diet high in
processed foods are at greater risk of hemorrhoids. A low-fiber diet or
inadequate fluid intake can cause constipation, which can contribute to hemorrhoids
in two ways: it promotes straining on the toilet and it also aggravates the hemorrhoids
by producing hard stools that further irritate the swollen veins.
Homeopathy
offers the best treatment option for piles/hemorrhoids. At Dr Faujdar’s
Homeopathy center, we have very successfully managed and treated cases of
Piles/fissure & fistula with permanent results. Patient’s with bleeding
piles can expect stoppage of bleeding within one week of treatment and within 2
to 6 months the condition is completely cured.
