4 Homeopathy medicines for piles

Medical remedies for hemorrhoids

Medical remedies for hemorrhoids consist of allopathic medicines, ayurvedic medicines, and homeopathic medicines. All three types are discussed below:

Allopathic medicines for piles

Several allopathic medicinal options are available to manage the symptoms and find relief in pain due to hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoids OTC meds

OTC medicines stand for over the counter medicines. These are available over-the-counter or online. OTC medications for hemorrhoids include painkillers, hemorrhoid ointments, hemorrhoid creams, and pads. These products contain ingredients, such as witch hazel, or hydrocortisone and lidocaine, that can relieve pain and itching for a temporary period. These medicines do not cure piles but help in managing the symptoms. These OTC medicines for hemorrhoids help soothe redness and swelling around the anus.

These medicines are not good to use for more than 7 days continuously. Their continuous use can cause further irritation of the area and thinning of the skin. It is also advisable not to use two or more medications at the same time unless advised by a medical professional.

Corticosteroids for hemorrhoids

Corticosteroids are also helpful in controlling the symptoms of hemorrhoids as they can reduce inflammation and pain due to hemorrhoids. Read about hemorrhoids pain relief.

Laxatives

Laxatives are usually prescribed by the doctors if a person with piles suffers from constipation. These medicines make the passage of stool easy and also reduce pressure on the lower colon.

Ayurvedic and Natural Medicines for Piles

Ayurvedic or natural medicines are sometimes quite effective for hemorrhoids. Ayurveda says that a human body is free from disease until his three doshas (Vaata, Pitta & Kafa) are balanced. Any imbalance in any one of these doshas can lead to health problems. For example, an imbalance in Pitta dosha can create digestive disorders which in turn lead to vata dosha & causes inflammation of haemorrhoidal venous cushions.

Haemorrhoidal venous cushions are normal structures of anorectal region. They are highly sensitive (prone to engorge and prolapse) and rich in vascular supply. Any type of pressure or stress can make these cushions inflamed. This condition is known as piles or hemorrhoids. Ayurvedic medicines which help in the treatment of hemorrhoids are given below:

Some medicines are specially designed with ayurvedic formulation that can cure bleeding piles along with non-bleeding internal & external piles lumps also. The basic mechanism of such medicines is to cure the varicose veins inflammation in anorectal region. This helps the venous cushions to regain their normal state and thus cure hemorrhoids. They help in many ways:

  • Creates venous sufficiency(in the anorectal region).
  • Normalises the swelling of varicose veins.
  • Acts as a cooling agent on the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Acts as an anti-infective agent.
  • Acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.
  • Acts as a digestive aid.
  • Acts as a stool softener.
