Hemorrhoid & Piles Symptoms Causes Homeopathy Treatment
Piles are otherwise called haemorrhoids. Haemorrhoids are large varicose veins (enlarged veins) found around the anus or in the wall of anus. External haemorrhoids develop outside the anal sphincter covered with skin. Internal haemorrhoids are found inside the anal sphincter and covered with mucous membrane.
Uncomplicated haemorrhoids are seldom painful, pain is usually caused by a fissure. The main symptom is bleeding, but in first degree haemorrhoids, which never appear at the anus, there is bleeding at the end of defecation. In second degree haemorrhoids, the enlarged veins protrude out of the anus during stool with uncomfortable feeling but returns to its normal position after stooling. At this stage profuse bleeding from the anus may occur. In third degree haemorrhoids, the swollen veins protrude out and remain outside of the anus, require mechanical pressure and push to place them inside the anus. At this stage there is persistent bleeding or loss of blood every day, thus they are removed surgically. In homoeopathy the following medicines, if indicated, are used to cure piles.
