Hemorrhoid or Piles in women during Pregnancy

Hemorrhoid or Piles in women during Pregnancy

Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are a common condition that can occur during pregnancy due to increased pressure in the pelvic area and changes in blood flow. They are swollen veins in or around the anus and rectum and can cause discomfort, itching, and bleeding.



During pregnancy, the growing uterus exerts pressure on the pelvic veins and the inferior vena cava, a large vein on the right side of the body that receives blood from the lower limbs. This increased pressure can cause the veins in the rectal area to swell. Additionally, hormonal changes can lead to the relaxation of the vessel walls, exacerbating the development of hemorrhoids.

To manage hemorrhoids during pregnancy, it’s recommended to:

  • Maintain a high-fiber diet: Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help prevent constipation, reducing strain during bowel movements.
  • Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water is essential to soften stools and promote regular bowel movements.
  • Exercise regularly: With your doctor’s approval, engaging in regular physical activity can help prevent constipation and reduce pressure on the veins.
  • Avoid prolonged sitting or standing: Taking frequent breaks can help reduce pressure on the pelvic veins.
  • Use warm baths: Soaking in a warm bath without soap or bubble bath can help soothe the discomfort.

In terms of homeopathic remedies, several options are considered beneficial for treating hemorrhoids during pregnancy. Some of the top homeopathic medicines include:

  • Aesculus Hippocastanum: It is mostly used for painful, external, non-bleeding piles, this remedy can help when there is a sensation of small sticks in the rectum with sharp pains extending to the back. The potency 30c is recommended.
  • Nux Vomica: It is also very good medicine for the hemorrhoid during pregnancy. However it is suitable for hemorrhoids accompanied by constipation and a frequent, ineffective urge to pass stool.
  • Hamamelis: It is well know for relief in  bleeding piles and  from the rawness and soreness.

It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment, especially during pregnancy. A homeopathic practitioner can provide personalized recommendations based on the individual’s symptoms and overall health.

Remember, while homeopathic remedies can offer relief, lifestyle changes and self-care measures play a crucial role in managing hemorrhoids during pregnancy.

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.
