How Homeopathy Helped a Patient Enjoy Life Again after Years of Anal Fissure Pain
A case of a male aged 41 years was registered (Patient ID: 53006) who started treatment for Fissure in Ano in November 2023, had a gap in between, and again started in November 2024. Earlier, he had also taken treatment at Life Force Homeopathy with symptoms of pain in the anal region while defecating and afterwards, itching in the anal region, burning at times, and some irregular rough skin lumps around the anus with slightly hard, ineffectual stools.
The patient had first sought help from conventional medicine, relying on laxatives and painkillers to manage his condition. While these treatments provided temporary relief, they never seemed to address the root cause of his pain. This cycle of discomfort left him feeling frustrated and desperate for a lasting solution.
One day in November 2023, after hearing about the wonders of homeopathic treatment from a friend, the patient decided to visit an associate doctor of the renowned homeopath Dr. Rajesh Shah. He was hopeful; perhaps this alternative approach could bring him the relief he had been longing for.
After a thorough evaluation of the case, Dr. Rajesh Shah prescribed a tailored homeopathic remedy specifically designed to address the patient''s unique symptoms.
Follow up:
First follow-up: As the weeks went by, the patient began to notice subtle changes. After his first follow-up appointment on January 10, 2024, he reported a significant reduction in pain and discomfort. The tingling itch that had bothered him also reduced. Encouraged, he continued with the treatment, returning for follow-ups every few weeks.
Second follow-up: By March 3, 2024, while the patient was still dealing with minor triggers from rich foods, he felt a sense of stability. The once-frequent episodes of pain were now mere memories.
Third follow-up: In April 2024, he relished a nearly symptom-free existence; it felt as though he was slowly reclaiming his life.
Fourth follow-up: Summer came, and with it, all signs of his fissure seemed to fade. There were no new lumps, no pain, and most importantly, no bleeding. The patient felt liberated during these months, taking trips with his family, enjoying meals with friends, and feeling grateful for the relief that homeopathy had brought him.
Fifth follow-up: The patient gave a follow-up on November 10, 2024. He had discontinued the treatment since July 2024, after which the frequency, severity, and duration of pain had increased. He had one episode of mild bleeding while passing stool one month ago. Itching was stable.
Sixth follow-up: On December 27, 2024, the complaints were better with no episode of bleeding since the last follow-up, but there was slight flatulence after a change in diet for the past 15 days. After having any kind of food, itching and pain after passing motion had also decreased.
Seventh follow-up: The Follow-up was taken in February 2025. Itching and pain after passing stool occurred two times per week. Flatulence was slightly reduced, but the lump in the anal lesion had mildly enlarged over the past month.
Eighth follow-up: As compared to the last follow-up, there was a reduction in itching around the anal region, with no swelling present over the anal region, and the condition was better.
Last follow-up: After the last batch of medicine, there was no swelling over the anal region or any symptoms of constipation, bleeding, or pus discharge after passing stools.
Conclusion:
Homeopathy offered the most definitive treatment for this excruciatingly painful condition. Homeopathic treatment for Anal Fissure eliminated the tendency of recurrence of the fissure. It provided the most wholesome, complete relief from this obstinate condition.
