From Painful Piles to Peaceful Living with Homeopathic Care
Mrs R.R, a fifty-two-year-old woman, visited the Thane branch of Life Force Homeopathy (Patient ID: 56429) on 7th January 2025 with the main complaint of piles. She had been suffering from piles for the past 4 years, with progressive pain and discomfort in the last 6 months.
Along with her physical suffering, she carried a heavy emotional burden. Having lost her only son five years ago, she lived with guilt and grief.
Her symptoms included pain and discomfort while passing stools. Burning sensation lasting for an hour after stools. Unsatisfactory stools requiring much straining. The condition was significantly affecting her daily life. She had tried Ayurvedic kadha for 3 months without much relief. The aggravating factors were eating spicy food and pain increased while passing stool.
Clinical Diagnosis:
Grade 2 Piles with pain, burning, and straining.
Past & Associated History
Hypothyroidism:
Diagnosed 2 months before consultation

Underwent a hysterectomy due to excessive bleeding

Mental generals:
The emotional background of the patient was striking and important in the case analysis:
Loss of only son: Patient lost her son 5 years ago, which left her in deep grief.
Guilt feelings: She blamed herself, believing she should have taken better care of her son.
Possessiveness: Became highly protective and possessive of her husband, as he had donated his liver to their son.
Reserved personality: She avoids social interactions, keeps to herself, and confides only in one close friend.
Weeping tendency: Cries often when remembering her son.
Fear of conflict: Does not like quarrels; gets palpitations if exposed to fights.
Dreams:
Someone is sitting on her and hitting her.
Falling into a deep valley from a great height.
Wakes up frightened.
Dr. Shah studied not just the piles symptoms, but also her associated conditions (hypothyroidism, post-hysterectomy history) and her deep-rooted emotional state.
He carefully noted her dreams, fears, grief, and guilt, as these formed the core of her constitutional picture with individualized Prescription:
