Ayurveda is an ancient science having its roots in Indian soil. It is an old system of medicine which suggests the best ways to keep the body strong and healthy. For a healthy life it is very important for all our bodily functions to work in synchronization and one of the most important organs to maintain this sync is our digestive system.
According to Ayurvedic principles, any disease in the body is almost always linked to an imbalance in the digestive system of the body.
A faulty digestive system is the main culprit when it comes to the development of diseases like the ano – rectal disorders.
These disorders are of different types and one of them is piles. Piles, bleeding piles or hemorrhoids are small muscular and globular masses that develop in the rectal mucosa. They may be internal or external. Sometimes, piles may bleed as well, a condition which we call as hemorrhoids.
Whatever may be the reason, it is a very painful and discomforting disease which needs careful management of health and maintenance of proper diet besides active treatment so that the patient can experience lasting relief.
What are Piles?
Piles are small cushioned masses of tissue which usually develop in the anal mucosa. In most people, they remain asymptomatic and are left unnoticed throughout the life span. In others, they may develop to varying degrees causing troublesome symptoms.
Symptoms of Piles
- Bleeding with bright red blood which may be passed along with stools at the time of defecation.
- Severe pain around the anus
- Itching and irritation at the anal orifice
- Slimy fluid may be passed from the anal orifice which may soil the undergarments.
Grading of Pile Mass
Pile masses can be graded into four categories according to the degree of the prolapsed pile mass.
Grade – 1
The pile mass in this case is usually internal and seldom comes out. Bleeding may occur at times.
Grade – 2
In this case, pile mass may become inflamed and come out upon exertion. It may be reduced back spontaneously without the need for any digital reduction.
Grade – 3
In this case, pile mass may prolapse along with feces or at other times without feces as well (upon exertion) and does not go back inside spontaneously. Digital reduction of the pile mass is required in such cases.
Grade – 4
Similar to grade – 3 pile masses. Grade – 4 pile masses are also the same in that they also get spontaneously prolapsed along with feces. The only difference is that it is impossible to reduce them back even with fingers.
In complicated cases, the prolapsed pile masses may develop tension and can bleed as well apart from causing severe pain in such situations.
