General

Pelvic and portal congestion resulting in dysmenorrhoea and haemorrhoids. Congestion of pelvic viscera, with haemorrhoids, especially in latter months of pregnancy. Dropsy from cardiac diseases. Palpitation: in patients subject to piles and indigestion; heart's action persistently rapid but weak. After heart is relieved old piles reappear, or suppressed menses return. Chronic, painful, bleeding piles; sensation as if sticks, sand or gravel had lodged in rectum [Aesc.]. Haemorrhoidal dysentery with tenesmus. Alternate constipation and diarrhoea; congestive inertia of lower bowel; stools sluggish and hard with pain and great flatulence. Constipation. Pruritus in pregnancy with haemorrhoids, unable to lie down.

Relations

In heart disease complicated with haemorrhoids consult Collinsonia when Cac. , Dig. and other remedies fail. Has cured colic after Col. and Nux had failed. Compare: Aesc. , Aloe, Cham. , Nux, Sulph.

Aggravation

The slightest mental emotion or excitement aggravates the symptoms [Arg. n.].
