HEMORRHOIDS OR PILES AND HOMEOPATHY

Piles or hemorrhoids are varicose or swollen rectal veins. The veins become distended in little lumps in which the blood partially coagulates. These little lumps are called piles, and may be wholly within the rectum or protrude from it, may be bleeding or "blind" piles; the latter do not bleed. They vary in color, and are often very painful. Indolent habits, luxurious living, sedentary pursuits, the free use of stimulants, patent medicines, cathartics, diseases of the liver and sexual excesses favor the appearance of hemorrhoids. When the piles occur altogether within the anus, they are called internal piles. The-piles are also seen partly internal and partly external.

Symptoms: Streaks of bright red blood occur in the stools. There is pain on defecation, which may continue for some time after the passage of the stools. Inflamed piles are troublesome and make movement impossible. Some times, the pain extends to the testicles or bladder. Constipation always accompanies partly due to mechanical obstruction and partly due to the pain caused by the stools. Itching piles are often trouble some. In severe cases, constitutional symptoms develop with lassitude, irritability, headache, and faintness and later on bleeding causes severe anemia.
