Piles, recurring 11615...India
A 50-year-old female had blood in stools and severe anal and stomach pain for the past three weeks. Her first episode with these symptoms but without the bleeding, then diagnosed as piles, occurred in 1996 and she got cured with homoeopathic treatment which lasted 15 days. The same symptoms recurred in June 2017 and homoeopathy came to the rescue again. When it happened the third time in August 2019, she could not contact her previous homoeopath, and she consulted an allopathic doctor who suggested surgery which she wanted to avoid. So, on her own, she took the primary homoeopathic remedy for piles Aesculus 200 but this did not help.
She visited the practitioner on 24 Aug 2019 who gave:
#1. CC4.4 Constipation + CC4.6 Diarrhoea + CC4.8 Gastroenteritis + CC4.10 Indigestion + CC8.1 Female tonic + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic…every 10 minutes for 1 hour followed by 6TD
On 26 August, as the bleeding had not reduced and the anal area was very painful, though there was relief in stomach pain, #1 was enhanced to:
#2. CC3.2 Bleeding disorders + CC20.4 Muscles & Supportive tissue + CC21.11 Wounds & Abrasions + #1…every 10 minutes for 1 hour followed by 6TD
Two days later she reported 50% reduction in pain and no blood in stools. On 2 September, as her pain had reduced by 90%, the dosage was reduced to TDS. By 20 September, as the patient was relieved of all symptoms, the dosage was reduced to OD but on 15 October, the patient decided to stop the remedy. On 3 November, she came for other problems - back pain, knee pain, general weakness and irregular menses.
Keeping in mind that she was close to menopause and had prematurely stopped #2, it was replaced by:
#3. CC3.2 Bleeding disorders + CC4.4 Constipation + CC8.6 Menopause + CC12.1 Adult tonic + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC20.4 Muscles & Supportive tissue + CC20.6 Osteoporosis…TDS
Within 16 days all her symptoms had disappeared, so on 19 November the dosage of #3 was reduced to OD and tapered down gradually to 2TW on 4 December. Two days later, pain in the anal area recurred, so the dosage was increased to TDS. It took a week for her to be pain-free again. After ensuring for a month that none of the symptoms had recurred, the dosage was reduced to OD on 14 Jan 2020 and then tapered down over 5 weeks to the maintenance dosage of OW. On 17 February 2020 she was also given CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic…TDS for a month to be alternated with CC12.1 Adult tonic + CC17.2 Cleansing for one year while continuing #3 at OW. As of Oct 2020, she has been absolutely fine.
