piles, hemorrhoids, fisure

Thank you for your replies Pankaj Varma and Dr. Mahfooz.

I did search the forums for this topic but did not find anything specific to my situation and concerns.

Dr. Mahfooz, Can you please explain your anwser in a more detailed manner? I am not sure I understand what you mean.

Thank you very much.

Thank you again. I will try your suggestions and report back later on.
Thank you.

My local homeopathic pharmacy would not sell Nux Vomica 200 to me. Only in 30. Will this be good enough? If so, what dosage should I take of this Nux Vomica 30?

Also, as for the Sulphur 200, should I continue to take this daily or just once a week?

Thank you.

For the last 6 weeks, I have been taking Sulphur 200 in the morning and two dozes of Nux Vomica at night, in a gap of two hours as recommended.

Unfortunately the problem still persists. I am having the same pain, which calms down for a few days but comes back and sometimes is very extreme. I am also still bleeding occasionally when going to the toilet.

Should I try something different?

Thank you again for your help.

Thank you very much Dr. Mahfooz. I will report back in a week.

Reporting back after a week:

Have been taking: Nitric Acid-200 ( 3 drops one dose at night) and Ratanh-30 (3 drops per dose thrice a day).

I am much better now although I would not feel comfortable to say that I am cured. This is because the symptoms have regularly come and gone over the last year or so. The pain gets very critical about every 4 to 8 weeks, lasts for about 4 to 6 days and then calms down. 4 to 8 weeks later, the same cycle occurs.

To be certain that the problem has been cured, I would have to wait about 2 months and then, if all is well, I can be certain.

The question is, should I keep taking the same Nitric Acid and the Ratanh, with the same doses, over the next two months? Or, should I change medication / dose?

Thank you very much again or your help. At least now I am much better but I would like to ensure that I am cured for good.
Thanks.

Hello,

I followed instructions. Stopped remedies for 2 weeks and then took medicine for a week: Nitric Acid-200 (3 drops one dose at night) and Ratanh-30 (3 drops per dose thrice a day).

I have been better during these past 3 weeks in the sense that I have not had the intense pain that I occassionally had before but I must say that I am not completely well. I still have constant minor pain, sometimes better sometimes worse, and ocassional bleeding when going to the toilet.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could please recommend what I should do next. Should I continue with the current medication? Should I try something different?

Thank you very much once again.

Hello Dr. Mahfooz,

I have done as instructed, stopped medication and have taken good amount of fibres in my diet for the past 2 weeks.

Unfortunately I have not been well. Over the past 2 weeks I have been having the same pain, which calms down for a few days but in recent days has been quite extreme. It is practically the same as it was before I started any treatment.

While I was taking Sulphur 200 in the morning and two dozes of Nux Vomica at night, I was much better although never completely well.

Should I go back to the same medication? Should I try something different?

Thank you again for your help.

Sorry to insist but I just want to know if I should try taking the medication for a longer period of time or if there is any risk for me in taking it for an extended amount of time.

Is there another treatment that I could try?

Thank you.

Thank you Dr. Haran.

I have been following the fibre diet and have been drinking plently of water also. I rarely ever experience constipation.

What I would like to know is if I can continue the medical treatment or if it is not recommended to do so after what I have taken as instructed.

Please advice?

Thank you.

I never received a reply to my last post where I expressed that I am still not well. Should I interpret this as Homeopathy no longer being a suitable remedy for me and that I should seek an alternative solution?

Thank you-.
