Ayurvedic Treatment for Hemorrhoids or piles

HEMORRHOIDS OR PILES Ayurvedic Treatment

Apart from a person’s complaints on the above mentioned symptoms, doctors will examine the anus and rectum to check for hemorrhoids.  A digital rectal exam helps in finding out internal hemorrhoids while these that are deeper inside may be checked with a proctoscope—a hollow, lighted tube.¹

Additional examinations may be done to rule out other causes of bleeding, especially in people age 40 and above. These include¹:

• Colonoscopy: An instrument called a colonoscope is used to see inside of the rectum and the entire colon.
• Sigmoidoscopy: This procedure is similar to colonoscopy, but it uses a different instrument called a sigmoidoscope. It is used to see the only the rectum and colon.
• Barium enema X-ray: An X ray of the colon is taken after inserting a contrast material called barium into the colon.
