The rectum is the lowest terminal part of the large intestine. Any bleeding that occurs from the anus, the lower colon or rectum is referred to as rectal bleeding. The reasons for rectal bleeding are multiple. Firstly, it includes passing a hard stool, hemorrhoids (swollen, inflamed veins around anus or lower rectum), anal fissures (a cut/ tear in lining of anus). Next cause can be IBD-inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease) which is autoimmune in origin causing inflammation and ulcers in gastrointestinal tract. Further causes include proctitis (inflamed rectum), colon polyps (harmless growths in colon or rectum) and diverticulosis (formation of abnormal pockets inside colon). Lastly, cancer of the colon or rectum can cause rectal bleeding.
Rectal bleeding can be attended with many other signs and symptoms. These include rectal/anal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. The other symptoms are abdominal cramping and mucus in the stool. Severe rectal bleeding can lead to anemia.
Homeopathy proves to be very helpful in treating cases of rectal bleeding. Occurring from various causes, it can be successfully treated with homeopathic medicines. Along with bleeding, homeopathy also helps to manage attending symptoms like pain in the anus or rectum, abdomen pain, loose stool, or hard stool. Homeopathic medicines are natural in origin, hence they have zero side effects. Homeopathy yields excellent results in cases of rectal bleeding having mild to moderate intensity. However, it is to be noted that in severe bleeding, dark/blackish bleeding, and cases attended with anemia, help from a conventional mode of treatment should be taken.
Homeopathy gives long-term results in rectal bleeding cases as it focuses on treating the root cause. Homeopathic medicines boost the self-healing mechanism of the body to fight the cause and overcome it to give effective and natural recovery. With regular use of homeopathic medicines for some time as guided by a homeopathic doctor, the episodes of bleeding gradually reduce till they get completely over. Homeopathy is recommended for rectal bleeding caused by different reasons, like piles, fissures, hard stool, and inflammatory conditions of the colon and rectum. However, it has limitations in treating cases with serious causes like cancer of rectum/colon where urgent help from conventional mode of treatment is advised.
Homeopathic medicines for rectal bleeding need to be selected individually for every case. The reason behind rectal bleeding, the character of blood and other attending symptoms are taken into consideration for selecting the required homeopathic medicine in every individual case.
