Q. Is there homeopathic treatment for prolapsing haemorrhoids?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Yes, homeopathic treatment for prolapsing haemorrhoids is available. Homeopathy uses natural remedies to treat a wide variety of conditions, including hemorrhoidal disorders. Commonly used homeopathic remedies for treating prolapsing hemorrhoids are Hamamelis virginica (Witch Hazel), Aesculus hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) and Nux vomica (Poison Nut).
Hamamelis virginica is often used to reduce the swelling associated with hemorrhoidal disease, while Aesculus hippocastanum can be effective in relieving inflammation and providing relief from itching. The remedy Nux vomica has been used to soothe burning pain in the area affected by the condition.
In addition to using these specific remedies, many people with prolapsing haemorrhoids have found general advice such as eating a healthy diet with plenty of fibre; increasing fluid intake; abstaining from straining during bowel movements; keeping well-hydrated; exercising regularly; and avoiding long periods of sitting or standing very helpful at reducing symptoms.
It is important that you seek professional medical guidance if you are experiencing any symptoms related to haemorrhoids or rectal bleeding as other serious medical concerns may need to be ruled out first before considering any form of homeopathic treatment.
