Abstract


Haemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in and around the anus and lower rectum. They can lead to itching, burning, pain, bleeding and lumps that can be felt around anus. Haemorrhoids occurs more frequently in women in their reproductive years. During pregnancy they are more common in the second and third trimesters and are caused by hormonal changes, pressure from the growing uterus, changes in blood flow and constipation. About 30% to 40% pregnant women get haemorrhoids which is very unpleasant and if untreated may get worse with time and cause complications such as increased pain or, in rare cases, anemia from bleeding. In pregnancy drug treatment presents a special concern due to the threat of potential teratogenic effect of the drug. Certain medications can reach the fetus and cause harm. Various Surgical, Parasurgical procedures and use of Ushna, Tikshna Kalpas internally are also contraindicated in Garbhini. Because constipation worsens haemorrhoids treatment option center around preventing or managing constipation or reducing pain associated with haemorrhoids. Ayurveda believes that “Prevention is better than cure” and gives immense importance to the same. ‘Garbhini Paricharya’ is comprehensive references about dietary, medicinal and behavioral regimen for pregnant women described in different Ayurved classics, contraindications and vigilant aspects of code of conduct and diet preparations also included in it. It not only enhances women’s health but also strengthen Garbhini kukshi, sacral region and makes Vayu anulomana causing urine, faeces and placenta excretion easy by their respective passages which will be effective in both prevention and management of haemorrhoids. Taking this into consideration the role of Garbhini Paricharya in prevention and management of haemorrhoids in pregnancy as per Ayurvedic and Modern view was studied in this literature.
