  • Abstract:
  • Hemorrhoids are a condition where the anal cushion becomes prolapsed, potentially leading to rectal or anal canal pain and bleeding. It is noted as the fourth most common gastrointestinal diagnosis among outpatients. Modern medicine offers a range of treatment options, including dietary and lifestyle modifications, sclerotherapy, banding, and LASER ablation in the early stages. For more advanced cases, surgical procedures like hemorrhoidectomy and MIPH are employed, with varying prognoses. In Ayurveda, hemorrhoids can be correlated with the condition known as Gud-Arsha. Ayurvedic literature outlines a fourfold approach to treating Arsha: Bheshaj (medicinal therapy), Kshar karma (application of herbal caustic paste), Agnikarma (therapeutic cauterization), and Shastra karma (surgical intervention).
