Aryuveda, Home-remedies For Severe, Intolerable Anal Itch

CE, I don’t know much about the piles & his medical surgeries that you mentioned. But based on that listing of foods towards the end of your post, I can say that a full fiber diet should be enough. If you add citrucel, psyllium fiber and a softener on top of that, I think that might be an overkill & might be driving him from the constipation end to diahrrea end. So balance it out, if he is consuming a full fiber diet, he doesn’t need all those supplements on top. You may try a staggered approach by first just giving him full fiber diet, then if that constipates him add a fiber supplement. See the effect & add or deduct, if that makes sense.

 

Try Kerala Ayurveda or Kottakkal Ayurveda and take their meds continuously without interruption based on the physician's recommendations. U can see the difference slow but steady. Thanks

 

OP,

Can he try sitz bath. You can buy that in US. After BM , fill it with really warm water, add one or two drops of Betadine (optional). Do it for 10 minute after cleaning and washing after BM. Then wipe and apply medicines doctors suggested . It may help itch I hope.
Also doing sitz bath just before BM can also help to relax muscle and help BM

Look like your father is taking too much fibre and suppliments. If you want a balance go for medium level fibres. Add fruits like papaya,pear ..
Less fibre lead to constipation. Too much Fibre can irritate bowel and lead to diarrhea. It can also make stool size high.

You said about ulcer. Is it colitis? If so diet, should be watched. If so, low fibre foods like rice, fish, egg white etc helps. Start a food diary. That will give you a good idea on what good cause what. No diary products, no processed food like bread.. read more ..

Eat good food, then use only one stool softener or fibre suppliment, not both.why these many suppository needed? The overuse of them make skin in anal region vulnerable to more scarring.

Try to reduce all and then see...also try to consult an ayurveda doctor.
( my relative used 'bruhath thriphala choornam' from kottakkal vydyasala ( google) - an ayurveda medicine, to help with BM. It is better than modern fibre supplements and stool softners)

 

OP, Sigmoid colon is the area of large intestine just above rectal cavity. He should change his diet. Piles need fiber rich food to avoid constipation, but Diverticulosis need fiber free food. So he need to balance both and reach a middle ground. Tricky situation. Go for natural foods, not processed foods as much as he can. Diet will help to manage both. So I believe you should focus more on that than taking more medicines or suppliments.

It is better to avoid suppository if there no discomfort . Have you checked description of all these stool softeners or fiber products? They suggest the use only for one week. Doctors suggest regular use only for surgery or certain medical conditions.
Diet is an important factor to manage these kind of situations. If he is feeling bad now, try a semi-liquid diet for a few days especially for dinner ( for example Indian rice gruel or clear soups) it will help both.

Hope he feels better.

veggies, fruits and nuts are not good for colitis, it may irritate bowel, also depends on the person. You need to select what type of veg/fruit he eats carefully. He may need to remove skin of the above foods before eating or cooking.
