question: Hi doctor, I have been suffering from thrombosed piles since two years. Initially, it took a week to subside. I showed it to doctor, who has conducted a physical examination and he had diagnosed it as thrombosed piles. Before 11 months, when I was exercising in gym, I again suffered from thrombosed piles. It was very painful. I could hardly walk. It took about a week to heal. I have stopped exercising. The moment I start surya namaskar or lift weights in gym, I have bled. There is no external fistula. I have shown it to a gastroenterologist before six months. He said, let it recur and then we will see what is to do and now it appears fine. What is the treatment for this? Can I lead a normal, active life again? Why cannot I start exercise? I tried homeopathy treatment, but it was of no use. Is it thrombosed piles or something else?
