ABSTRACT
Background: Haemorrhoids are one of the most common anorectal disorders, presenting with symptoms such as bleeding, pain, prolapse, itching and soiling, which significantly affect the quality of life and clinical presentation may vary according to its types and degrees. Haemorrhoidectomy remains the mainstay of treatment for advanced cases; however, it is frequently associated with complications, prolonged recovery and high recurrence rate. Whereas homoeopathy emphasizes an individualised approach based on the totality of symptoms and underlying miasmatic influences. The concept of miasms provides a deeper understanding of the chronic predispositions and disease tendencies in patients, thereby aiding in the selection of a constitutional remedy for long-term relief.
Objective: To understand the miasmatic aspect and its utility in homeopathic management of cases with haemorrhoids.
Materials & Methodology: A prospective clinical study was conducted on 40 patients over a period of nine months. Cases were selected using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and detailed case-taking with miasmatic evaluation was carried out as per homoeopathic principles, outcomes were assessed using the Haemorrhoid Severity Score (HSS).
Result: Out of 40 cases studied, 26 patients (65%) showed significant improvement, 10 patients (25%) demonstrated moderate improvement and 4 patients (10%) had only mild improvement, while no case remained unimproved, majority of patients thus experienced significant relief. Statistical analysis revealed that the calculated t-value exceeded the tabulated t-value at p = 0.05 (df = 39), indicating a statistically significant difference between pre-treatment and post- treatment scores. This finding substantiates the clinical utility of miasmatic understanding to select individualised homoeopathic medicines in the effective management of haemorrhoids.
Conclusion: Findings of this clinical prospective study demonstrate that individualised homoeopathic medicines, prescribed on the basis of totality of symptoms and miasmatic background, were effective in the management of haemorrhoids. A significant improvement was observed in 65% of cases, highlighting the value of miasmatic understanding in guiding remedy selection and achieving sustained relief.
