Anal polyps are abnormal, small growths or tissue projections that develop in the lining of the anal canal or rectum. These growths can be benign (non-cancerous) but may sometimes develop into more serious conditions if left untreated.
According to Ayurveda, weak or disturbed Agni (digestive fire) is a root cause of many anorectal disorders including polyps. Impaired Agni leads to Ama (toxins) accumulation and imbalance in Pitta and Kapha doshas, which may contribute to abnormal tissue growth like polyps.
If not addressed early, anal polyps can become a chronic issue, recurring over time and potentially increasing the risk of complications like infection or even malignancy. Chronic polyps may also indicate ongoing imbalance in digestion and elimination processes.
There is no specific test for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS); diagnosis is primarily based on characteristic symptoms, while healthcare providers may conduct tests to rule out other conditions with similar presentations.
Subtypes:
IBS is classified into subtypes based on predominant symptoms: IBS-C (constipation-predominant), IBS-D (diarrhea-predominant), and IBS-M (mixed type) where both constipation and diarrhea alternate.
Stress can exacerbate IBS symptoms. Stress management techniques, such as mindfulness, relaxation exercises, and counseling, may be beneficial.
Detoxifying the body through specific Ayurvedic methods helps remove toxins and restore balance to the digestive system.
IBS symptoms vary greatly from person to person, making a personalized treatment approach essential; at Nalam Ayurveda, we offer individualized care through thorough evaluation and tailored guidance to effectively manage each patient’s unique condition.
