Ayurvedic Piles Treatment in Bangalore , Piles, fissure and fistula are the most common anorectal complaints that people generally approach Ayurveda doctors. Piles or hemorrhoids occur due to inflammation and swelling of the blood vessels in the lower rectum and anus. The condition is very similar to varicose veins often observed in the legs. Piles is very distressing to the person as it can interfere with the daily activities owing to the constant pain and discomfort. It presents as a mass/growth in the anus either externally or internally and may be associated with bleeding. Pain and discomfort is maximum when passing stools. Other associated symptoms include itching around anal region, mucus discharge after defecation and in advanced cases, rectal prolapse. Current trend of improper food habits, eating very spicy food, excessive intake of aerated beverages, coffee and tea, sedentary habits – sitting for long hours, lack of exercise has led to an increase in number of people seeking help for piles.
Ayurveda management of piles constitutes conservative, medical management in the initial stages and surgical/parasurgical interventions in advanced stage of the disease. In addition, personalized diet and lifestyle changes are advised for quicker relief and to prevent recurrence. Agnikarma (thermal cautery) and ksharakarma (application of organic alkalies) are 2 procedures that are unique to Ayurveda and have high success rates in curing piles. These are parasurgical procedures that remove the pile mass from the root and coupled with internal medication, prevent its regrowth.
