Piles : Causes, Symptoms & Ayurvedic Treatment

What are Piles?

Piles- an extremely discomforting and painful digestive disorder. It is also known as haemorrhoids primarily caused by distention and congestion of the internal and external venous plexuses around the anal canal.
In Ayurveda, it is recognized as “Arsha Roga” caused by an imbalance of Tridosha. In such conditions, the veins of the lower anus and rectum get swollen and there are lumps or inflamed tissues around the anal canal. It is interlinked with constipation and straining at defecation (while passing stool).
Bright red bleeding after defecation or prolapse of something through the rectum which disappears after defecation are certain common complications that patients with piles experience. Aging is a major risk factor for the development of piles because of weakened tissues supporting the rectum and anus.
