Pile with Kshar Sutra

Haemorrhoids are also known as piles. It is a condition that occurs when the veins around the anal region andrectum are enlarged. Most patients with piles experience a lot of discomfort in the area, which also hurts and bleeds at times. It is not only embarrassing for someone but causes an immense amount of physical and mental distress.

Treatment of hemorrhoids according to ayurveda

In the management of arsha,some physicians/surgeons advise excision of the hemorrhoids by sharp instruments, while others recommend cauterization with ksharakarma (alkalies) and agnikarma (thermal cauterization). These procedures should be administered only by a physician/surgeon who is well trained in the field.

Any mistake during these (surgical or para-surgical) procedures could result in serious consequencwes and complications, such as impotency, ano-rectal swelling, obstruction in defecation, abdominal distension, excruciating pain, excessive bleeding and recurrence of hemorrhoids. On healing stricture may form and chronic sticky /pus discharge, prolapse of the rectum can occur. Above complications may develop due to improper surgery, ksharakarma and agnikarma.
