Prolapsed Piles (Hemorrhoids)

What is Prolapsed Piles (Hemorrhoids)

Prolapsed piles are internal hemorrhoids that slip down (prolapse) outside the anus, especially during or after passing stool. In early stages, they may go back on their own, but in advanced cases, they may need to be pushed back manually or remain permanently outside.
In homeopathy, prolapse is considered a weakness of rectal tissues and venous circulation, often linked with chronic constipation, straining, and general systemic weakness.

Causes

Chronic constipation with excessive straining
Weakness of pelvic muscles or rectal tissues
Pregnancy and childbirth

Liver disorders causing venous congestion

Initially, it goes back on its own, later requires manual pushing
In advanced stage, mass remains outside

Commonly used remedies:

Ignatia – piles prolapse with spasmodic pain, often worse from emotions or stress
Nux Vomica – prolapsed piles with constipation, straining, and sedentary lifestyle
Muratic Acid – prolapsed piles that are very sensitive and painful to touch
Aloe Socotrina – constant sensation as if stool will pass, prolapse with much mucus discharge
