Abstract
Haemorrhoids are abnormal masses of dilated blood vessels that can occur both internally and externally in the rectum. This is a case report of a 60-year-old woman who presented with complaints indicating Stage 3 haemorrhoids with a longstanding history of constipation. After acute case taking, observing the pathological progress of the disease and repertorising, Aesculus hippocastanum was prescribed. The patient’s condition and improvement were evaluated using the bleeding, prolapse, reduction, skin tags and thrombosis classification and staging at each follow-up. The patient showed marked improvement within a month. This case report emphasises the role of homoeopathic medicines in cases of haemorrhoids.
