Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it also brings physical and emotional challenges. Among the most uncomfortable health issues faced by many expecting mothers are piles (hemorrhoids), anal fissure, and anal fistula. These anorectal conditions become more common due to hormonal changes, constipation, and increased pressure in the pelvic area. While modern medicines often offer temporary relief, Ayurveda provides safe, natural, and effective remedies for these problems without harming the mother or the baby.
1. Piles (Hemorrhoids) in Pregnancy
Piles are swollen veins in the rectum or anus that cause pain, itching, and bleeding. During pregnancy, increased abdominal pressure and constipation worsen this condition.
Causes in Pregnancy:
- Pressure of the growing uterus on pelvic veins
- Constipation due to hormonal changes
- Lack of dietary fiber
- Prolonged sitting or standing
Symptoms:
- Pain during bowel movement
- Bleeding per rectum
- Swelling or lump around anus
- Itching and irritation
2. Anal Fissure in Pregnancy
A fissure is a small tear in the anal lining, often caused by hard stools. Pregnant women are more prone due to constipation and straining.
Symptoms:
- Severe pain while passing stools
- Fresh bleeding
- Burning sensation after bowel movement
Ayurvedic Remedies:
- Ghee or oil application for lubrication
- Isabgol husk with warm water at night
- Abhyanga (oil massage) for balancing Vata
- Gentle Panchakarma therapies post-pregnancy
3. Anal Fistula in Pregnancy
Fistula is an abnormal tunnel between anal canal and skin. It is less common in pregnancy but can worsen due to infections and low immunity.
Symptoms:
- Persistent pus discharge near anus
- Pain, swelling, and irritation
- Recurrent infections
Ayurvedic Remedies:
- Kshar Sutra therapy (safe post-delivery)
- Herbal formulations to reduce infection
- Strengthening immunity with Rasayan therapy
4. Lifestyle & Dietary Care During Pregnancy
Ayurveda emphasizes preventive care:
✅ Eat fiber-rich foods (green leafy vegetables, fruits, whole grains)
✅ Drink plenty of warm water & milk
✅ Avoid spicy, fried, and junk food
✅ Do mild yoga & breathing exercises under guidance
✅ Don’t strain while passing stools
