It is not like piles only affect older people, they can and are affecting people of all age groups.We are all born with piles, or we can say haemorrhoids, but at the base levels, they don’t bother us at all. It’s all only when they become swollen and irritate us. Now here the question arises: why and what are the factors that are responsible for piles? Piles have different stages, or we can say degrees which get worse stage by stage. Many people take this problem very lightly, as the stage of piles at that point is the beginning  of piles. People even do not consult with any doctor because of hesitation. So in this article, we will discuss all about piles in both modern and ayurvedic aspects to help people so that they can cope up with this worldwide problem. This article includes all the causes, symptoms, stages, risk factors, management do’s and don’ts of piles.

Herbal Remedies for Piles

Introduction

Piles are also known as Haemorrhoids. The word hemorrhoid is derived from the Greek word “haemorrhoids, meaning veins liable to discharge blood. Haemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower part of the anus and rectum. When the walls of these vessels stretch, they can become irritated. This causes painful defecation, itching, and rectal bleeding. The rectum is the last part of the bowel, which leads to the anus, where the faecal matter leaves the body. There are hemorrhoidal tissues in this area, made up of blood vessels, connective tissues, and some muscles. These tissues act like cushions that protect the walls of the rectum and anus. Haemorrhoids are associated with various conditions but oftenly it is thought that it is related to straining for bowel movements.

Haemorrhoids are also caused by lifting heavy objects and being overweight. Increased straining during pregnancy also leads to piles. Haemorrhoids are painful if they are recurrent. The early stages of piles are less harmful, but if they are avoided for a long time, they can be problematic and serious. At the initial stages, the piles are manageable by themselves, but in the later stages, one should consult the doctor.  Late management may also lead to further diseases like fistula in anus fibroids, etc. So one should not avoid or take this problem lightly.

Types of Haemorrhoids

  1. Internal Hemorrhoids.
  2. External Haemorrhoids.

Internal Haemorrhoids

These haemorrhoids develop inside the rectum. These are usually not visible to the naked eye. They have a feature of protrusion (bulging out) through the anal opening while defecating. If they are prolapsed, they cannot be refigured to their normal positions in any mode, either by any instrument or manually. This also causes bleeding during defecation. The blood is bright red in colour, and the pattern of blood is drop by drop. It is caused by excessive straining during defecation, constipation, or passing hard stools.

External Haemorrhoids

These haemorrhoids develop under the skin around the anus externally. These are the most uncomfortable haemorrhoids. These haemorrhoids cause itching, discomfort, swelling around the anus, and bleeding. Also they are painful and sometimes feel lumpy. Sometimes blood gets clots within the external hemorrhoid, this condition is known as thrombosed hemorrhoid which can also lead to pain also.Usually this clot gets dissolved on its own but if not, the doctor removes that clot.

Causes of Hemorrhoids

There are many causes of haemorrhoids but some main causes are as follows:

  • The main cause of piles/haemorrhoids is straining during defecation or bowel movements. Attaining pressure during defecation leads to friction in the muscles of the anus, which is the starting point of haemorrhoids.
  • The second main cause of piles, which people don’t even consider to be a factor in developing haemorrhoids, is sitting for a long period of time on the toilet seat. People even do not think that this can lead them to the starting stage of haemorrhoids. But this is the most common factor that is responsible for piles.
  • Having chronic diarrhoea and constipation. Constipation results in the tearing of muscles around the skin of the anus, which leads to the hard stools finally resulting in piles and excessive pain during defecation.
  • Obesity: Haemorrhoids are more common in obese people because of their heavy weight, prolonged sitting, low or inadequate intake of fibre in their diet and decreased physical activity. These all factors lead to piles.
  • Pregnancy: Pregnant women are more affected by haemorrhoids as the growing baby puts pressure on the large veins present behind the uterus.
  • Having anal intercourse:- It also leads to discomfort and makes you more likely to have haemorrhoids.
  • Eating a low fibre diet: Low fibre rich diet leads to constipation which finally results in hard stool and due to straining during bowel movements it causes piles.
  • Regularly lifting heavy weights: Lifting heavy weights like dumbbells in gym leads to pressure in the abdominal region which causes straining during defecations finally leads to haemorrhoids.

Symptoms of Hemorrhoids/Piles

Generally symptoms of haemorrhoids depend upon the type of hemorrhoid (internal, external or thrombosed hemorrhoid).  There are different symptoms of different haemorrhoids. Some common symptoms of haemorrhoids are:

  • Constipation
  • Bleeding during defecation.
  •  Pain sometimes becomes severe.
  •  Discomfort.
  •  Itching.
  •  Swelling around anus.
  •  Inflammation.
  • Hard and discoloured lump near anus.

Diagnosis of Piles/ Hemorrhoids

Digital Examination of  external haemorrhoids: These are diagnosed by checking the area around the anus whether there is inflammation, redness or not.

Physical examinations

Also eating habits, toilet habits ,enema, laxatives use will be asked by the doctor. These all are included in the history taking. These factors are important to know before the starting of any management

Visual Examination

For the diagnosis of  internal haemorrhoids there is visual rectal examination. Haemorrhoids in the internal part are seen on the 3 positions that are  3 o’clock, 7 o’clock and 11 o’clock positions of the rectum.

Management of Piles/Hemorrhoids

Mild pain, swelling, inflammation and itching of haemorrhoids can be relieved with some home remedies.

  1.  Eat high fibre food: Eat more food which is rich in fibre. This will help in softening the stool and increasing its bulk. This will help in avoiding straining as we discussed above that straining is the main  lead cause of piles.
  2. Take a sitz bath twice daily: By soaking the anal region in the plain water for 10 to 15 minutes thrice daily . Sitz baths are beneficial in reducing swelling and pain around the anus.
  3.  Use of laxatives: Laxatives like isabgol are beneficial in constipation as constipation leads to piles.
  4.  Use of topical oils and creams: Apply hemorrhoidal creams externally to avoid swelling and pain around the anus.
  5.  Use of pain relievers: Painkillers are used to avoid pain.

If the bleeding doesn’t stops then further procedures are performed which are as follows:

  1. Rubber band ligation.
  2. Sclerotherapy.
  3. Coagulation.

Some Surgical Procedures

  1. Hemorrhoidectomy/hemorrhoid removal.
  2. Hemorrhoidal stapling.

Surgeries are not the solution to get rid of haemorrhoids. In ayurveda, there are many ways which are explained to manage piles. These are the best managements given by different acharyas in different ways. Ayurveda has the best management of piles whether it is at initial stages or at their severity.

Ayurvedic View on Piles/Hemorrhoids

In ayurveda,  acharyas use  the term  arsha to explain  piles or haemorrhoids. As explained in ayurveda, the body is made of three doshas that are vaat, pitta, kapha and 7 dhatus that are rasa (plasma), rakta (blood), mansa (muscles), meda (fat), asthi (bones), majja (bone marrow), and shukra (sperm). The imbalance in one of these doshas and dhatu leads to various diseases in the body. However, arsha is a tridoshaj vikara (disease) in which all the doshas are predominant. Moreover vaat is mostly affected by dosha in arsha.

Types of Arsha

  1. Sehaj (which are inherited by birth).
  2. And some which are caused after birth.

According to the Doshas

Vaataja

These are dried, very hard, rough and dark in colour and also are very painful. Pain gets aggravated around the testicles, bladder, and ovaries. There is also difficulty in passing urine, and stools. Headache, rhinitis, inflammation, and dizziness are also symptoms of vataj arsha.

Pittaja

These are soft, loose, untouchable, red,  yellowish, black in colour. They  are sweaty and have a foul smell. There is yellow and red discharge from anus.

Kaphaj

These types of arsha are largely spreaded, fatty, white in colour, inflamed.

Rakataj

These are the bleeding types of arsha.

Nidan of Arsha (Causative Factors)

गुरु मधुर शीताभिष्यन्दि विदाहि विरुद्धाजीर्ण प्रमिताशना सात्म्य भोजनाद्गव्

मात्स्य वाराह माहिषा जाविक पिशित भक्षणात् कृश शुष्क पूतिमांस ( Charaka chikitsa 14/9)

This means that heavy, sweet, cold, vidahi aahar (which results in burning sensations), abhishyandi aahar (which is heavy but also slimy in nature. It causes obstruction in the channels which leads to distractions in the secretions by the system of the body).  These all are some of the factors which are responsible for piles/arsha . Regular eating of meat of cattle, fish also leads to arsha.

Samprapti

Arsha/piles are caused by mandagni (low digestive fire). Due to mandagni  there is mala avrodh(obstruction in passing faecal matter) and gets accumulated. Due to these factors, accumulated mala enters the hemorrhoidal veins with the help of vata. This  accumulated mala pressurise  the veins which finally leads to arsha

Samprapti Ghataka

Dosha:- Vaat pradhan tridoshas.

Dushya:- Mansa (muscles), meda (fat), rakta (blood), twaka (skin).

Adhisthana:-guda (anus).

Symptoms of Arsha According to Ayurveda

  1.  Mal Badhta (constipation)
  2.  Daha and Shoola in guda (burning sensation and pain around the anal region).
  3.  Atisaar (Diarrhoea) specifically in piitaj arsha.
  4.  Rakt pravah (bleeding from anal region).
  5.  Atoopa and Adhmana (Flatulence).

Management of Arsha in Ayurveda

Arsha/piles are managed in different ways and with different medical herbs. In Ayurvedic Samhitas that are (Charaka and Shushruta) there is well explained management of piles/ arsha.

Management by Acharya Charaka

Acharya charaka has mentioned two types of chikitsa that are shaman and shodhan.

Shaman chikitsa

It means formulations which control the doshas of the body and bring them to their own places. For this acharya charaka has mentioned many such medications like arsha kuthara rasa (tablets), chandraprabha vati (tablets), some powdered churna like vijay churna and some decoctions like takrarishta etc.

Shodhan Chikitsa

Basti karma (medicated enema by various decoctions) Picha basti is the most effective management of arsha. This basti is prepared by some dravyas like yavasa, kusha, kasha, shalmali,nayogra, udumber etc. these all dravyas have the best effect on arsha. Likewise there are some other basti which can be given like anuvasana basti. Basti is considered as the best management of vata dosha. As arsha is a vata dominant disease, basti works excellently on it.

Kshar sutra

Some acharya considered it better to ligate the pile mass by a medicated thread called kshar sutra and cut it off. This thread is changed after 7 days with the new medicated thread.

Agnikarma

This is done to shred the pile mass with the help of shalaka.

Piles Natural cures and Alternative Remedies

Abstract

Everyone in the world is busy making money through jobs or business and other things. But no one really cares about the body they have. It is really essential to understand that the body is the base of every emotion you have, every feeling you feel, every work you do and every thought you have. Not taking care of your body gives a chance to diseases, disorders and conditions to rise in your body and maximum of these diseases, disorders or conditions are due to fluctuating lifestyle and dietary habits. Lifestyle includes all the things we do like prolong sitting for hours, too much work on screen, no fixed time of eating along with dietary habits like eating too much fast food, binge eating, eating without thinking etc. give rise to many lifestyle disorders and one of such diseases is piles. Piles has become a really common problem especially in the youngsters and this article is all about piles, its ayurvedic aspect and its management using ancient herbs and formulations.

Introduction

Piles, one of the most common problems encountered in today’s world and the surprising thing is that people sometimes don’t even know that they have piles. In Ayurveda piles is known by the name Arsh and ancient texts also mentioned its types like vataj Arsh (having predominance of vata dosha), piitaj Arsh (having predominance of pitta dosha), kaphaj Arsha (having predominance of kapha dosha) and raktaj Arsh (bleeding piles). The modern concept of piles explains  that piles are of three types that are internal, external and prolapsed. The article will cover both of the aspects along with the approach of management for piles. Though the protocol is a bit similar but still has differences at some point. Medically piles are called hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids simply means a swollen vein or group of veins in the anus region, either externally or internally.

Piles

Causes of piles

The cause of piles is just one that is increased pressure in the lower rectum and this increased pressure is the responsible factor for formation of piles. So what are the reasons for this increased pressure? Keep on reading if you want to know the reasons!!

The reasons for increased pressure in lower rectum are following

  1. The first and the most common is constipation. Constipation increases the pressure on the lower rectum which finally can result in both internal or external piles.
  2. The second most common cause for increased lower rectum pressure is pregnancy. In pregnancy, as the uterus expands it puts pressure on the rectum placed just behind it resulting in piles. Again these piles can be internal or external.
  3. The next reason is chronic diarrhea. Diarrhea can be the reason for piles in patients like ulcerative colitis and crohn’s disease.
  4. Other causes include habis like straining while passing stool, lifting weights, prolonged sitting,having chillies in excess, increased intake of alcohol, having too much refined grains etc.

In Ayurveda there are certain specific causes for onset of piles or any type of Arsha. These includes

  1. Intake of heavy, sweets, cold and abhishyandi aahar (food which is heavy and slimy) , vidahi aahar (causing burning in stomach), viruddh anna (improper food combinations).
  2. Indigestion, eating less in quantity
  3. Asaatmaya food (improper food)
  4. Intake of Cow meat, fish, pig meat, buffalo meat, goat meat, sheep meat in heavy quantities regularly.
  5. Excessive sneha paan (intake of ghee), curd, sesame and jaggery intake
  6. Doing no exercise
  7. Sleeping in day time
  8. Indigestion
  9. Prolonged constipation

These all causes can cause all types of arsha or piles. But these situations arise only when a person is not having a good lifestyle as well as dietary habits.

Prodromal symptoms

The prodromal symptoms refer to or donate the period between the appearance of initial symptoms. So for all type of arsha or piles, Ayurveda mentions following prodromal symptoms:

  1. Indigestion (Vishtambh)
  2. Flatulence (Aatop)
  3. Weakness (dorbalaya)
  4. Constipation (vibandha)
  5. Emaciation (kasharya)
  6. Excessive belching (Udgaar bahulya)
  7. Pain in thighs (Sakthi sadan)
  8. Sprue (Grahni dosha)
  9. Anaemia (Pandu)
  10. Abdominal disorder (Udar roga)
  11. Polydipsia (Pippasa)
  12. Small quantity of stool (alpa vitakta)

Symptoms of Arsha or piles According to Ayurveda and Modern

  1. Pain and burning in anal region (daha and shoola in gudda)
  2. Sometimes even bleeding per anus is also observed (rakta sarava)
  3. Constipation (Mal badhta)
  4. Diarrhoea (atisaar)
  5. Flatulence (aatop and aadhmaan)

On the other hand Modern explains the symptoms of piles in two types that are external symptoms and internal symptoms. Obviously the internal symptoms are for internal piles and external are for external piles.

Symptoms of  internal piles

  1. Painless bleeding during bowel movements. The blood is bright red in colour.
  2. A pile pushing through anal opening called as protruding or prolapsed pile.

Symptoms of external piles

  1. Itching and irritation in your anal region
  2. Discomfort and pain
  3. Bleeding
  4. Swelling around anus region

There is an additional type of pile called a thrombosed pile. The blood pools in an external hemorrhoid or external pile thus forms a clot which can result in severe pain, swelling, inflammation and a hard lump near your anus.

Diagnosis internal and external piles

The diagnosis of piles can be done using digital and visual examination.

1. Digital examination

Inserting a gloved lubricated finger into your rectum by your doctor for inspecting any unusual growth.

2. Visual examination

Proctoscopy is done by inserting a proctoscope inside your rectu as internal piles are really soft to feel. This examination visualizes the lower portion of rectum.

Criteria for treatable and untreatable piles according to Ayurveda

1. Sadhya arsha (treatable piles)

  1. There is predominance of only one dosha that is either kapha, pitta and vata dosha
  2. Below the dentate line
  3. The pileous mass that is not older than one year.

2. Krich Sadhya (treatable with difficulty)

  1. Having dominance of two doshas.
  2. Present above dentate line.
  3. Pilous mass older than one year.

3. Asadhya pile (non treatable piles)

  1. The patient has piles with swelling over feet, face, mouth, umbilicus, anus and heart along with pain in ribs.
  2. Patient suffering from vomiting, pain in body, fever, thirst and pus in anal region.
  3. Piles present from birth
  4. The pilous mass having predominance of all three doshas
  5. Present above the dentate line.

Treatment (According to Ayurveda and Modern)

The Ayurvedic for piles is described by Two Aacharyas. Aacharya charak explains the treatment with internal administration and panchakarma procedures of medication and acharya Sushruta explains four different ways to treat piles.

Let’s discuss the treatment according to Aacharya charak first

1. Sanshodhan chikitsa (includes panchakarma procedures)

  1. Vaman karma (vomiting induced by administration of emetic drugs)
  2. Virechan karma (Purgation induced by administration of laxative drugs)
  3. Basti (Asthappan and anuvasana basti): Medicated enema using unctuous decoction and non unctuous decoction.
  4. Picha basti (Enema prepared using milk and effective herbs)

2. San Shaman chikitsa (Internal medicine)

The Ayurvedic texts describe use of effective formulations which include

  1. Rasa aushadiya also like arsh kuthar ras, ashtanga ras,
  2. Some vatis like jatiphaladi vati, chandra prabha vati,
  3. Some powdered formulations like vijay churna, dhaturadi churna etc.
  4. Along with the  administration of some decoction formulations like takrarishta, abhayarishta, kankarishta, draksha aasav and
  5. Some ghrita formulations like chavya ghrita, pippalyadi ghrita etc.

On the other hand Acharya Sushruta explained four sidhanta for the chikitsa of arsh. The four sidhanta are as follows:

  1. Bheshaj (that is internal medicine): In arsha having less aggravation of dosha and are with less complications
  2. Kshar karma (In soft, bleeding or in Arsha having dominance of pitta dosha)
  3. Agni karma (In hard and in arsha having predominance of vata and kapha dosha)
  4. Shstra karma (In Arsha having soft root and presence of all three dosha)

Modern treatment for Arsha or piles

There are several types of hemorrhoid surgery available. Let’s get to know about all of them. The following are the procedures done to remove piles:

1. Rubber ligation

The procedure is done for the bleeding piles or prolapsed internal hemorrhoid. The procedure involves placing a rubber band on the base of a hemorrhoid. This will help in restricting the blood flow and eventually causing hemorrhoids to fall off.

2. Coagulation

Coagulation is helpful in treating internal bleeding hemorrhoids which are not protruded. Basically a trained doctor will use an electric current or infrared light to create scar tissue on the hemorrhoid, thus restricting the blood supply to the hemorrhoid and causing it to fall.

3. Sclerotherapy

In sclerotherapy this procedure involves a doctor injecting a chemical solution into internal hemorrhoids. The solution helps in relieving pain as it makes nerve endings numb and causes a scar tissue formation. Thus hemorrhoids fall.

4. Hemorrhoidectomy

This procedure aims to remove the hemorrhoid and the procedure is performed by the expert surgeon under local anesthesia or will receive a spinal block.

5. Hemorrhoid stapling

The procedure is especially for internal hemorrhoids and has no significance for external hemorrhoids. A special device is used to staple the hemorrhoids to normal position within the anal canal. This restricts the blood supply and causes reduction in size slowly.

If your doctor does not guide you for any of the above mentioned procedures then you are probably in a good condition. So generally some laxatives and ointments are prescribed. Now after knowing all about piles in both Ayurveda and Modern science let’s proceed towards some natural cures of piles as mentioned in Ayurvedic texts. These ways can be of great help for an immediate relief.

These are as following

1. Sudation or swedan

The sudation or swedan is really helpful especially in stiff and swollen pilous mass. Generally the swedan is done using potli swedan. In potli swedan a cloth packet in round shape and is filled with various herbs like yav (Hordeum vulgare),  masha (Vigna mungo), kulathi (Macrotyloma uniflorum) and Pulaka (tucchadhnnya). The potli is generally applied after smearing it in oil prepared using chitraka (Plumbago zeylanica) and Bilva (Aegle marmelos).

2. Ava Ghana (Sitz bath)

Sitz bath after mixing alum in the water is a very effective hemostat and also relaxes the swollen piles, reduces stiffness and thus is really effective in reducing discomfort too. Before a sitz bath one can apply jatyadi tail.

3. Jatayadi tail pichu

This involves application as well as insertion of jataydi oil in or into the anal opening.

4. Pralepa (ointments)

The ointment is prepared using powder of haridra (Curcuma longa) mixed with latex of Snuhi (Euphorbia neriifolia). The paste is really helpful to reduce swelling over the pilous mass present.
