Hello Kashif, Since you have had on-and-off liver area pain for three years and occasional rectal pain after bowel movements, further details are needed for an Ayurvedic assessment. Do you experience bloating, acidity, nausea, or changes in appetite? Has your bowel movement pattern changed—constipation, diarrhea, or mucus in the stool? Do you feel fatigue or weakness? Since your ultrasound shows a mild coarse liver, have you had tests for fatty liver, fibrosis, or viral markers like HBV? What is your current diet, and do you consume alcohol, fried, or heavy foods? In Ayurveda, liver health is closely linked to digestion and Pitta dosha balance, so these details will help in providing a more effective treatment approach.
Namaste khanji,Since your HCV is now negative, the focus should be on liver regeneration, digestion, and reducing inflammation in the rectal area. 1.Liv-52 DS (Himalaya) – 1 tablet twice daily 2.Triphala Churna – 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime 3.Kumari Asav (Aloe Vera Tonic) – 20 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner 4.Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tablet twice daily after meals Include: Warm water with lemon in the morning.Fresh fruits (papaya, pomegranate, apple, pear).

Dealing with these symptoms can be unsettling, but let’s see how Ayurveda might offer some support. Given your history of HCV and ongoing liver area discomfort, it sounds like keeping your liver in pristine health is essential. Your liver and digestive system is central to your well-being, according to Ayurveda. That mild coarseness in liver could be linked to a Kapha or Pitta imbalance, possibly weakening your digestive fire (agni).
First thing first, diet plays a critical role in balance. You might want to include more bitter and astringent foods in your meals – think leafy greens like kale, bitter gourd, or turmeric. They’re good for cleansing the liver. Avoid oily, fried stuffs, caffeine, and alcohol since they can strain the liver. Prefer warm, cooked meals instead of raw, especially in the evenings. And hydradte, stay well-hydrated but don’t overdo water during meals, as it can dilute digestive juices.
You might also consider incorporating herbal allies like Kutki or Bhumyamalaki, herbs known for their liver-supporting properties. They’re often available in powder or capsule form. Check with an Ayurvedic practitioner to pinpoint what suits you best or even for customizing the dosage.
About that rectal pain post-bowel movement, it could relate to vata imbalance. Try consuming warm teas that aid digestion— perhaps sippering on a ginger tea. Also, trips to the bathroom should be with no rush, and maybe trying sitz baths could soothe irritated tissues.
Keep stress in check, since emotional turbulence like anger or anxiety can challenge the liver. Regularly practice deep breathing or meditation to keep your mind calm. Simple, slow-paced routines, maybe even yoga if you enjoy it, help in reducing stress levels.
But hey, this isn’t a substitute for professional medical evaluation, so keep up with those regular check-ups to monitor liver health. Also, if there’s a flare in pain or any new signs show up, better consult a doctor straight away. Maybe even consider a second opinion from a specialist. Take care!
