The right cure for piles

I am 28 yr old male suffering from constipation since many years. I am unable to pass stools with ease. I consume laxatives yet have to strain for 30-40mins daily with no relief, which then causes tremendous gases/bloating. Can I get a permanent solution?

As Constipation is multifactorial, the treatment depends on the cause and severity of the symptoms. For mild to moderate constipation medications like Constac powder work well. In cases of severe constipation, we recommend Contac Plus &Echodefecography test. If the result comes positive for the rectocele, STARR surgery is beneficial. In case of weak pelvic floor muscles-Pelvic Floor strengthening & biofeedback is advised

Treating bowel incontinence and related ailments

My 14-year-old daughter has been complaining of burning/itching after passing stools for 3-4 weeks. I examined her & noticed a tiny swelling at the anal opening. Can children of her age develop piles?

Children, who consume fast food often and lead a sedentary lifestyle, seem to develop anal fissures, resulting from tears in the delicate anal lining due to hard stools. Taking a warm water sitz bath instantly relieves the discomfort. Piles/ haemorrhoids of Grade I & II can be treated holistically. Doctors at Healing Hands Clinic perform painless video proctoscopy and offer MCDP treatment for an initial grade of piles, combining herbal medications, dietary modifications, pelvic floor physiotherapy and administration of Ayurvedic oil (medicated) Enema. This reduces the size of the swelling and heals the underlying fissures.

I am a gym trainer and have been taking protein supplements regularly. Past six months, I have been suffering from constipation along with pain while passing stools. I used to manage it by increasing my fibrous food intake. Three days back, I noticed some blood on the tissue.

Fissures can develop due to constipation/straining during bowel movements or passing hard stools, which are a result of excess protein intake. Frequent cuts/ tears in the anal lining narrow the anal passage resulting in a tight spasm. In such chronic conditions, laser surgery proves the most beneficial. Patients can resume their duties in a day or two.

I am 35/F with six months of pregnancy. I have been suffering from irregular bowel movements. I have to strain a lot while passing stools. I am in tremendous pain.

Due to hormonal changes, constipation is commonly seen in pregnancy. It’s unadvisable to take strong painkillers. As Healing Hands Clinic is into R&D, the medicines developed after rigorous research are safe to consume during and after pregnancy. Constac powder relieves constipation and helps in aiding smooth bowel movements. Tab Anoac H & Anospray, a plant-based spray works well in reducing pain and discomfort.

My 4-year-old son is unable to pass motions daily. He cries every time he tries to pass stools. He tends to avoid squatting and strains in a standing position.

Children can suffer from functional constipation. However, they must be trained in squatty-potty positions to enable the natural passing of stools. Few dietary modifications like decreasing the intake of packed, processed, and preserved food, help. Increasing intake of cow's ghee and milk can aid in relieving constipation. Local five-minutes massage of Anoac Cream before passing stools reduces the discomfort and aids easy passage of stools.

I am 28 yrs old and I am a little overweight. I often feel bloated & sometimes constipated. I’ve heard about colon cleansing. Can you please shed some light on it.

Anybody motivated towards a lifestyle change and looking for a detoxification program to promote health and vitality can opt for this unique therapy. Colon Hydrotherapy aka Colon Irrigation / Colon Cleanse or Colonic is an ancient form of cleansing the colon ( large intestine ) and rectum with temperature and pressure controlled filtered water. It is a drug-free, safe and effective method of removing impacted fecal matter, retained gas,mucus and other waste materials from the colon. The procedure has definitely evolved with time providing modern technology ensuring both, the safety and the sanitation of this popular cleansing practice.

A diet that lacks fibre combined with a sedentary lifestyle leads to a sluggish metabolism. Consequently, there is an increased incidence of constipation, gases, bloating, irregular bowel habits & weight gain which further points out to the fact that waste products are not moving smoothly out of the body. This therapy can assist with the weight loss. It’s also helpful in breaking up the impacted faecal material and therefore promote easy passage of stools. The most important benefit is that many clients immediately feel lighter and report leaving with an increased feeling of well-being, more energy and renewed vitality.
