Abstract

Haemorrhoids are the most common among ano-rectal diseases which affect millions of people around the world. Arshas is a Vyadhi which make a person suffer just like he suffers from his enemies.  Thrombosed haemorrhoids is a condition with acute swelling at the anal verge which is extremely painful and possibly occur due to high venous pressure. Though the disease is within the limits of management, it has its own complications like inflammation and thrombosis, by which a patient gets severe pain. Prior to surgical treatment of hemorrhoids, associated conditions like inflammation, strangulation, thrombosis need to be managed. Leech therapy followed by Kaasisaadi Taila application is found to be effective in reducing pain and acute swelling. In thrombosed piles, leech application has shown thrombolytic action, which contributes in re-establishment of circulation. It is observed in the study that, pain and other inflammatory changes have been reduced after leech application due to antimicrobial and mucolytic properties of leech followed by Kaasisaadi Taila which shrinkens the haemorrhoidal mass. This treatment is found to be effective in patients suffering with thrombosed haemorrhoids.
