Piles - Understanding The Ayurvedic Perspective On It!

In surgical procedure only affected Pile mass is removed. Whereas in Ayurvedic treatment a wholistic approach is followed i.e. apart from treating Piles; digestive process and constipation are also taken care of. So, the chances of recurrence of Piles are not there.

Piles are engorged rectal veins which are formed due to pressure exerted by continuous straining while passing stool; prolong sitting; pressure exerted by the fetus in the pregnant ladies, etc. Commonly piles present as painless bleeding per rectum with soft tissue coming out during defecation.

Constipation is the root cause of the formation of Hemorrhoids (Piles). Ayurveda emphasizes a lot for management of constipation while treating Piles. Constipation can be avoided by following proper Diet and Lifestyle, therefore, Diet and Lifestyle are highly important factors.

In first and early second stage when painless bleeding is the only symptom or protruding pile mass is very small in size; stool softening medicines along with Kshar Karma is advised. In late second stage and third stage when Pile mass needs to be reduced manually and pile mass protrude out even while walking and sitting; Ksharsutra ligation of Pile mass is advised.
