If the patient of hemorrhoids develops edema in upper and lower extremities, face, umbilicus, anus and scrotum, and if he suffers from pain in the cardiac region and lateral parts of chest, then such types of patients became incurable. [26]

If the patient of hemorrhoids develops edema in upper and lower extremities, face, umbilicus, anus and scrotum, and if he suffers from pain in the cardiac region and lateral parts of chest, then such types of patients became incurable. [26]

Pain in the cardiac region and lateral parts of the chest, fainting, vomiting, pain in the limbs, fever, thirst and perianal swelling - these complications lead to the death of the patient suffering from hemorrhoids. [27]

Pain in the cardiac region and lateral parts of the chest, fainting, vomiting, pain in the limbs, fever, thirst and perianal swelling - these complications lead to the death of the patient suffering from hemorrhoids. [27]

Congenital/hereditary hemorrhoids caused by aggravation of three doshas and hemorrhoids located in the internal sphincter of the anus are also considered as incurable. [28]

Congenital/hereditary hemorrhoids caused by aggravation of three ''doshas'' and hemorrhoids located in the internal sphincter of the anus are also considered as incurable. [28]

In the presence of above incurable symptoms, if all four aspects of treatments like physician, drugs, attendant and patient are in the state of their excellence and if the patient has strong kayagni (power of digestion and metabolism) the disease may become yapya (palliative). Otherwise the disease became incurable. [29]

 

If the hemorrhoids are caused by vitiation of two doshas, and are located in the second anal- sphincter and if these are more than one year old, then these are difficult of cure.  

In the presence of above incurable symptoms, if all four aspects of treatments like physician, drugs, attendant and patient are in the state of their excellence and if the patient has strong ''kayagni'' (power of digestion and metabolism) the disease may become ''yapya'' (palliative). Otherwise the disease became incurable. [29]

If the hemorrhoids are located in the external anal sphincter with vitiation of one dosha, and are not chronic then patient is said to be curable.  

 

A wise physician/surgeon should treat the patient early otherwise the enlarged hemorrhoids can obstruct the anal canal and lead to baddha-gudodara (obstruction in the passage of the ano-rectum). [30-32]

If the hemorrhoids are located in the external anal sphincter with vitiation of one ''dosha'', and are not chronic then patient is said to be curable.

In the management of arsha,some physicians/surgeons advise  excision of the hemorrhoids by sharp instruments, while others recommend cauterization with ksharakarma (alkalies) and agnikarma (thermal cauterization). These procedures should be administered only by a physician/surgeon who is well trained in the field.   

In the management of ''arsha'',some physicians/surgeons advise  excision of the hemorrhoids by sharp instruments, while others recommend cauterization with ''ksharakarma'' (alkalies) and agnikarma (thermal cauterization). These procedures should be administered only by a physician/surgeon who is well trained in the field.   

Any mistake during these (surgical or para-surgical) procedures could result in serious consequencwes and complications, such as impotency, ano-rectal swelling, obstruction in defecation, abdominal distension, excruciating pain, excessive bleeding and recurrence of hemorrhoids. On healing stricture may form and chronic sticky /pus discharge, prolapse of the rectum can occur. Above complications may develop due to improper surgery, ksharakarma and agnikarma.
