Piles (Bawaseer) - Unani Treatment in Amroha
Piles (haemorrhoids) are swollen veins in and around the anus. They are very common, especially in people who strain on the toilet, sit for long hours or have long-standing constipation. Internal piles often cause painless bleeding, while external piles can be itchy and painful.
At Hashmi Dawakhana, Amroha, our hakims treat piles (bawaseer) with Unani medicine, diet and bowel care, and we tell you honestly when a surgeon is the better choice. Because rectal bleeding can have other causes, new bleeding - especially after 40 - should always be checked.
Common signs and symptoms
- Bright red blood on toilet paper or in the pan after passing stool
- Itching, irritation or a lump near the anus
- Pain or discomfort while sitting or passing stool
- A feeling that the bowel has not emptied fully
- Mucus discharge or swelling around the anus
Possible causes
- Long-standing constipation and straining on the toilet
- A low-fibre diet and drinking too little water
- Sitting for long hours, including long sessions on the toilet
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Obesity, heavy lifting and chronic cough
How Unani medicine approaches it
In Unani medicine, bawaseer is linked to constipation (qabz) and congestion of blood in the veins of the rectum. Treatment focuses on soft, regular stools, calming inflammation and strengthening the veins: individually prescribed oral formulations, local applications, and warm sitz baths (aabzan).
Early and moderate piles often improve with this kind of care. Piles that keep prolapsing, bleed heavily or form a painful clot (thrombosed pile) may need a procedure by a surgeon, and we will refer you when that is the case.
- Assessment of symptoms, bowel habits and the type of piles
- Individually prescribed Unani formulations for stools, bleeding and swelling
- Warm sitz bath (aabzan) routine for pain and itching
- Fibre and fluid plan to stop straining
- Follow-up, and referral for examination when bleeding needs checking
What happens in a consultation
- 1Book a free, confidential consultation by phone, WhatsApp, video call or a clinic visit in Amroha (clinic open 11 AM - 8 PM, every day).
- 2Dr. Hashmi (BUMS, MD) takes a detailed history - symptoms, duration, lifestyle, sleep, diet and any medicines you already take.
- 3Your temperament (mizaj) and general health are assessed; tests may be advised if needed.

Lifestyle tips that help
- Eat more fibre - whole grains, dal, vegetables, fruit and isabgol if advised
- Drink enough water through the day
- Do not strain, and do not sit on the toilet for long
- Go to the toilet when you feel the urge instead of holding it
- Stay active - a daily walk helps the bowels move
When should you see a doctor?
See a doctor soon if you have heavy or repeated bleeding, dark or black stools, bleeding with weight loss or a change in bowel habit, or bleeding after the age of 40 - these need examination to rule out other causes. Go to a hospital for severe pain with a hard, swollen lump, or if you feel faint from blood loss.
