Bleeding Piles (Hemorrhoids with Bleeding)

What is Bleeding Piles (Hemorrhoids with Bleeding)

Bleeding piles are hemorrhoids (internal or external) where swollen rectal veins rupture or ooze blood during or after passing stool.
In homeopathy, this is considered a consequence of venous congestion, sluggish circulation, and straining. Instead of only suppressing bleeding, homeopathy aims to strengthen venous walls, improve digestion, and correct bowel tendencies.

Causes

Long-standing constipation and straining during stool
Sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise
Pregnancy and childbirth
Obesity and poor circulation
Excess spicy food, alcohol, smoking
Liver congestion or portal hypertension
Chronic cough or repeated exertion increasing abdominal pressure

Symptoms

Fresh red blood during or after stool (drops or streaks)
Blood may appear on toilet paper or drip in the pot
Associated pain, burning, or itching around anus (especially if external piles are also present)
Feeling of heaviness or fullness in rectum
Weakness or dizziness in chronic cases due to blood loss
In severe cases, patient may develop anemia (low blood levels)

Homeopathic Perspective & Remedies

Homeopathy plays a vital role by controlling bleeding, reducing venous swelling, and correcting constipation naturally, without surgery.

Commonly used remedies:

Hamamelis – profuse bleeding, soreness of anus, weakness after blood loss
Millefolium – bright red bleeding piles with no pain
Aesculus Hippocastanum – painful piles with backache, fullness in rectum, occasional bleeding
Collinsonia – bleeding with constipation and hard stools
Sulphur – chronic piles with burning, itching, and recurrent bleeding tendency

Summary

Bleeding piles occur due to rupture of engorged rectal veins, leading to fresh bleeding during stool. Homeopathy works by reducing bleeding, healing venous walls, and correcting the root causes like constipation and poor circulation, ensuring long-term relief without surgery.
