Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Portal circulation is the flow of blood from one capillary bed to another capillary bed. Portacaval anastomosis is the communication between tributaries of portal vein and systemic veins. These communications form important routes of collateral circulation in portal obstruction. In the rectal region the superior rectal vein (portal) anastomoses with the middle and inferior rectal veins (systemic).Haemorrhoid is a pathological condition where rectal veins become dilated and tortuous as a result of portal hypertension. Arshas mentioned in our classics is a condition where in there is formation of mamsaankura and raktasrava from the gudamarga. This arshas may be compared with haemorrhoids where there is tissue prolapse and bleeding per rectum. This paper discusses about the importance of porta-caval anastomosis and its role in a pathological condition of haemorrhoid and its comparison with arsha, mentioned in Samhitas.
