Young Software Engineer Finds Relief from 9-Year Struggle with Piles
Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen veins in the anus and lower rectum. Based on the location of piles, they can be classified as internal or external piles. Medical professionals grade internal piles on a four-point scale as Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3 and Grade 4 piles. The symptoms include pain and discomfort in the anal region, bleeding, a lump or swelling in the anal region, and itching.
Case study:
A young lady aged 26 years, Patient ID-54078, visited the Life Force Homeopathy Jayanagar Branch on 20th March 2024, for her complaints of hemorrhoids’ that she had been suffering for 9 years. The main presenting symptoms involved were burning pain, bleeding, a sensation of lump and heaviness in the anal region, itching, and straining at stool. She had grade-2 external hemorrhoids’ 1 in number at 12 O’clock.
She was experiencing moderate to severe episodes of pain 2-3 times a month. The episodes lasted for 15 days. She had to depend on allopathic medicines every time she had episodes of pain. The allopathic medications were giving her only temporary relief and she wanted a permanent solution to her problem that’s why she decided to explore homeopathic treatment which she thought would help to address her complaints at the root level.
Her previous illnesses and treatment history were also inquired about and updated. Her family history was also asked about and updated in the case file.
A detailed case history was taken considering both her mental and physical conditions and updated in the case file.
Physical generals:
The patient was essentially a non-vegetarian with an average appetite. She liked chicken and sweets. She had an average thirst and drank an average 3 liters daily. She had average sweating. She was intolerant to hot weather. Her bowel movement was not satisfactory and had to strain while passing motion. She had no urinary symptoms. She had a sound sleep. Her menstrual cycle was also regular
Psychological makeup:
The patient had a very happy childhood with a supportive family. She was mild and gentle by nature but was highly anxious and prone to overthinking. Four years ago, she experienced grief when her sister passed away due to pneumonia, which led to depression. It took her some time to recover from it. She was an ambivert, feeling comfortable only with her close group of friends, and she loved reading books.
Her intellectual sphere was also taken into consideration. Her memory, perception, intelligence, analysis, and logic were all good.
Dr. Shah after thoroughly reviewing the entire case file, prescribed medicines after properly analyzing the case.
The patient was also given a diet chart to follow related to her complaints. She was told to stay away from non-vegetarian foods and to eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to increase her intake of fiber because she was not vegetarian. She was also told to limit her intake of processed foods like junk food and low-fiber snacks to promote digestive health. It was suggested that regular exercise, such as gentle yoga or walking, would help with bowel movements. She was also instructed to avoid extended periods of sitting by taking frequent breaks to walk around and to practice good hygiene by gently washing her anal area with lukewarm water after having a bowel movement. It was also stressed to stay away from activities that raise abdominal pressure and heavy lifting.
Follow-ups:
The first follow-up was done on 9th May 2024. The patient was overall better by 50% in her symptoms.
By 11th September 2024, the patient was further better. She hasn’t had any severe episodes since starting our treatment.
By 14th November 2024, she was 100% better (within 8 months) in her hemorrhoid complaints, from which she was suffering for the past 9 years. Most importantly she had stopped using analgesic medicines which was a big relief to her.
