Herbal Remedies for Solitary Rectal Ulcer Syndrome (SRUS)

Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is an uncommon benign disorder of the rectum. As the name indicates, it is characterized with ulcer in rectum and it can be solitary or multiple. The size and extend of ulcers can vary from patient to patient. There are obvious symptoms, histological abnormalities and clinical findings. It is more often in females than males and in young adults, but it may occur to any age group too. The etiology is idiopathic. Ischemic pressure and local trauma by impacted stool can act as the contributing factors to SRUS.

CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO SRUS

• Chronic constipation (impacted stools)
• Attempts to manually remove the impacted stools
• Prolonged straining during bowel movements
• Rectal prolapse
• Pelvic floor muscle tightening which slows down the blood flow to the rectum
• Intussusceptions (inversion of one part of intestine with other)

SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

Even though it shows obvious symptoms, for some patients it may remain asymptomatic. The hallmark sign of SRUS is the blood passage during defecation. The major symptoms include;

• Rectal bleeding
• Copious mucus discharge
• Prolonged excessive straining
• Perineal pain
• Abdominal pain
• Feeling of incomplete defecation
• Feeling of fullness of pelvis
• Fecal incontinence
• Constipation (long standing)
• Rectal prolapse (rarely)   

As it shows a range of symptoms which mimic inflammatory bowel syndrome, SRUS should be diagnosed with certain histo pathological features. These salient features include obliteration of lamina propria by fibrosis and abnormal smooth fiber extensions.

DIAGNOSTIC METHODS FOR SRUS

• Sigmoidoscopy
• Ultrasound
• Imaging studies

HERBAL REMEDIES FOR SRUS

In Ayurveda, the tridoshas – vata, pitta & kapha – vitiation is the prime cause for every disease. In SRUS disease, aggravation of tridosha predominantly pitta is the main factor. Accumulation of ama (due to sedentary life styles and unhealthy eating habits) along with pitta aggravation is the lone cause for SRUS. The aggravated ushna (hot) nature of pitta can trigger the formation of ulcers and can flare up the symptoms. The aggravated pitta in turn vitiates rakta dhatu and mamsa dhatu in the body leading to rectal bleeding and other associated symptoms.

While the treatment for SRUS is still problematic and confusing to Allopathic medicine, Ayurveda offers a wide range of choices of herbs which are excellent in rectal ulcer healing. Planet Ayurveda put forwards potent herbal combinations to deal with SRUS.
