"Hemorrhoids & Homoeopathy"

 In the past few weeks there were many patients to whom I have consulted regaring their acute & chronic diseases.Most of them are better now and few are under the convalescence period. But among them there was a very interesting case which was really an inspiring case for us. Today we elaborately will discuss about that case. 

It was a case of Hemorrhoids. But before we discuss how inspiring that case was we should  have a solo knowledge about the diseased condition that patient was suffering from.


                                                                Fig-Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids: Heamorrhoid is nothing but a varicose condition of the anerectal region  where veins become dilated,elongated &  tortuous. 

Types: Broadly it is categorised into 2 major types 

1)External:- In this type, veins are covered by skin. 

2)Internal:- In this type, veins are covered by mucous membrane. 

In some cases existence of 3rd type is also noticed called interno-external where upper part covered by mucous membrane & below one is covered by skin. And this is the advanced stage of heamorrhoid. Clinically it is seen that most of the heamorrhoids are internal one. 

Etiology: There is no exact reason for varicosity of veins but etiology for the same divided into 2 major groups A)Primary B)Secondary 

A)Primary

a)Anatomical Factors: Anatomically there are certain factors which accelerate the conditions.

1) Veins in anal region lax the sub-mucous coat  

2) There is no valve present in veins 

3) Veins flow against the gravity

4) Contraction of muscle during defeacation. 

b)Hereditary Factors: Congenital weakness may be sometime responsible for varcosity of veins. 

c) Exciting Factors: Exciting factors like long continued straining, contipation & colitis nay be act as exciting cause. 

B)Secondary 

1) Carcinoma of rectum

2)UterineTumor

3) Enlarged Prostate 

4) Portal Hypertension, systemic hypertension etc. 

Clinical Features:

Symptoms:-

-There must be a history of constipation.

-Patient complaints of blood coming with stool & sometime blood may be fresh so its called Bleeding Piles. 

-Condition is mostly painless but in some circumstances there may be pain. 

On Examination:-

1)Rectal Examination-In severe cases when veins getting heavy in varicosity, the adjacent mucosa hangs loosely from the anal opening & there may be anal prolapse also.

Depending upon the prolapse, piles graded into different degrees.

                                                         Fig-Stages of Piles 

a)Ist Degree: No mucosal prolapse. 

b)2nd Degree: Prolapse due to defecation but returns back again. 

c)3rd Degree: Prolapse due to defecation but has to reduces manually .

d)4th Degree: Always prolapsed 

2)Digital Examination-Actually piles can be detected by the digital examination but it reveals the carcinoma of anus. 

3)Speculum Examination-With help of  proctoscope pies are easily visualized where exactly it is positioned. Basically piles are seen in 3,7 & 11 O'clock position.  

So, this is a short description about the piles to keep ourselves updated with this knowledge.Now lets come back to prime discussion how that patient did get  a magical cure.

At around 7 to 8 O'clock in the evening a handsome guy tall,fair in complexion with light hair color with red blushing skin just like imparting redness, entered in my clinic with his fellow friend. And without taking a formal permission he just took his seat along with his friend.After being comfortable in the seat patient's friend then started explaining the patient's complaints in the first instance. Then later on patient himself joined that conversation with me & tried to explain his complaints more elaborately. Till now his friend was giving just the overall complaints of the patient at very superficial level like burning at anus for last few weeks with pricking pain & little bit bleeding too, along with a small nodular mass at the end. Then patient gave an striking history of his complaints.

We the homoeopaths always search for the history because history is one of the most important point in the selection of a remedy, like history of injury , history of suppression etc.Anyway, then patient told me in very desperate way doctor, do you know? this is not the first time I have been suffering from this problem. I had been with this problem 6-7 yrs back also but that time its was very severe & that problem made me frightened & due to that I had to go for the operation at that time. But that was not my desire yet and I had applied multiple ointments also to avoid the operation, then I had found unfortunate one. 

Anyhow, doctor I d'not want to go for operation any more.Please do something for me doctor. This is the whole scenario that patient had expressed in front of me. Now the main task begins  like what would be the remedy & how we will going to select it?

After that I did take whole case history & then finally I prescribed Sulphur 30 two doses in sac.lac & placebo in globules for mental satisfaction of the patient. I also give the Calendular Q for sitz  bath for 2-3 times in day. After 2 weeks of consuming the prescribed medicines, patient did not give any response whether its helping him or not? Suddenly, after 3 weeks Patient came with whole family for the consultation. By seeing this scenario I assumed that patient would get some relieve only & that kind of expression patient had too. Anyhow I finished my consultation for his family. Then at last he came for his follow up, now he told me that doctor what a magical medicine you had given to me, its all gone now. NO burning, NO pain & NO any mass there. Its all gone forever.  You could not imagine how a doctor feel when his patient said that he is better, his problem recovered. But being a doctor we should always cross examine, only we fully believe whether this patient is saying right or not. After verification I found that  this patient is CURED now.

This is magic of homoeopathy and we can  see how homoeopathy is effective in even in those cases where surgeries suggested to the patient.That's why I always said " Homoeopathy-All In One".
