Abstract

Arsha (Piles) is one of the most common anorectal disorder mentioned in Ayurveda. It is a prevalent condition within the ano-rectal region, categorized among the Asthamahagada (eight great diseases). This condition has been documented for thousands of years, with its prevalence being notably high among all anorectal disorders. Key factors contributing to Arsha (Piles) include a flawed dietary pattern, lifestyle choices, anatomical deformities, and hereditary influences. The clinical manifestation of Arsha (Piles) involves an engorged state of the hemorrhoidal venous plexus, coupled with the abnormal displacement and enlargement of the anal cushion. This results in inflamed or prolapsed pile masses, rectal bleeding, and some discharge from the anus. It is noteworthy that nearly half of the population experiences at least one hemorrhoidal episode at some point in their lives. In the realm of modern medical science, various procedures are outlined for hemorrhoid management, with haemorrhoidectomy being a commonly preferred surgical intervention. However, it is important to note that there is a significant likelihood of the disease reappearing after the excision. Contrastingly, Ayurveda offers a diverse set of approaches for Arsha (Piles) management. These include Bheshaj (Medication), Kshar Karma, Agnikarma, Shastra Karma (Chedana), and Kshar Sutra, with the choice depending on the chronicity and presentation of the disease. Ayurveda approaches piles treatment by addressing the root cause of this condition and restoring the balance of the body. The primary goal of Ayurveda is to alleviate (To reduce) the sign and symptoms, reduce inflammation, improve digestion and prevent reoccurrence.
