Piles are very soft, reddish in color, inflamed and bleeding. Thirst, diarrhea, fever and fainting may present.

4)Sahaja Arsha
These are present from the birth due to defect in the sperm and ovum. Such patients are very lean and thin with low weight, less strength, low voice, low agni and are very lazy.

Sadhya-Asadhyatva (Prognosis)

sukha-sadhya
External arsha, with one dosha predominance and which is at Bahya samvarani as well as not older than one year is easily curable.

Kashta-sadhya
Arsha having two dosha predominance and is at the second vali called as visarjani and older than one year is difficult for the treatment.

Asadhya
Sahaja arsha and the one with tridoshaja and is developed at the last vali called as pravahani is not treatable. If there is edema on the face, hands and feet, umbilicus and at the rectum and has severe pain in the region of heart is not curable. Similarly the patient who is bleeding per rectum severely and has high fever, thirst and inflammation in the rectum is also not curable.
