A desk job, a rushed diet, a body that rarely gets to move- piles today often come from a very modern set of habits. For over a century, Baquaiveda has been offering unani and ayurvedic treatment for piles in Kolkata.
Every treatment begins with one question: why did this happen in the first place? Because understanding the cause is where meaningful care begins.
Piles, also called haemorrhoids, happen when the veins in and around your anus and lower rectum become swollen and irritated. They can develop inside the rectum (internal) or under the skin around the anus (external), and they show up in two broad forms: bleeding and non-bleeding piles.
Some people notice blood; others just notice discomfort, itching, or a lump. It's an old, well-documented condition, and according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), about 1 in 20 adults have haemorrhoids. What's changed is how many more people are getting it, and why.
Bright red blood during or after a bowel movement
Itching or irritation around the anus
A lump or swelling that's tender or painful to touch
Discomfort or pain while sitting
A feeling that your bowels haven't fully emptied
Mucus discharge after passing stool
However, all rectal bleeding should not automatically be assumed to be piles.
You know your body best. If something doesn't feel right, it's worth getting it checked, because the right care for anorectal problems like this starts with understanding the problem.
Piles develop when the veins in and around the lower rectum and anus come under repeated pressure, often linked to factors such as straining, constipation, pregnancy, and ageing.
However, the way we live now has quietly made those triggers more common:
The old causes haven't gone anywhere. They've simply picked up company. Today's routines don't replace the traditional triggers; they just add more ways to end up with the same problem.
A lot of relief options out there do exactly that: relief. They calm the swelling or ease the discomfort for a while, and then the same habits bring it right back.
Our approach is different mainly in where it starts, not with the symptom, but with what's causing it. Our doctors combine natural remedies with dietary and lifestyle correction to find the best way to get rid of haemorrhoids, guided by the classical principles of Unani medicine, matched to your specific type, stage, and daily routine.
A natural treatment plan built this way, around your actual case.
Every formulation our doctors prescribe is built from classical Unani and Ayurvedic ingredients, each included for a specific, deliberate reason:
Raswat — traditionally valued for its astringent, wound-supportive properties, often included in formulations for bleeding piles.
Neem Beej — long used in classical practice for its natural cleansing and anti-irritant qualities.
Gogul (Guggul) — a resin traditionally recognised for helping reduce swelling and inflammation.
Bakain — traditionally included to support the healing of irritated anal tissue.
Gandana — carried forward from the same time-honoured formulation tradition, a quiet but essential part of a recipe passed down through generations of Unani practice.
A confidential, judgment-free consultation — this is a condition people often delay treating out of embarrassment. You won't be rushed or made to feel awkward here.
Diagnosis before treatment — we look at your specific habits and history, not just the word "piles".
Clinical-first Unani heritage — Every formulation is grounded in classical Unani diagnostic principles, and all Unani medicine for piles is prescribed by a qualified doctor, the same standard you'd expect from any modern clinical consultation.
Non-surgical options considered first — for many patients, surgery isn't the first or only answer.
A legacy that's stayed relevant — Baquaiveda's roots trace back over a century to the Baquai Dispensary, and our approach has evolved alongside how modern life actually causes this condition.
Doctors who've treated this for years — as one of Kolkata's established piles treatment centre options, this is a condition we see and treat regularly.
A proper diagnosis is a lot less daunting than most people expect.

Unani and Ayurvedic treatment may help manage piles by addressing symptoms and contributing factors such as constipation and irregular bowel habits. The right treatment depends on your condition and should be guided by a qualified physician.
There is no single medicine that works best for everyone. Treatment depends on the type and severity of piles, your symptoms, and your overall health. A physician can recommend medication suited to your individual needs.
For mild symptoms, supportive care at home may include a fibre-rich diet, adequate fluids, regular bowel habits, and avoiding excessive straining. Any medication should be taken as advised by a qualified physician.
Consult a doctor if you have persistent or recurring bleeding, significant pain, swelling, or symptoms that do not improve. A proper diagnosis can help rule out other causes of rectal bleeding.
Depending on the condition, non-surgical care may include physician-prescribed medication, dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and management of constipation. Your treatment should be tailored to your symptoms and individual needs.
