Clinical Engorgement of the haemorrhoidal veins is one of the most constant effects of Aloes, and it is one of the best remedies for haemorrhoids as above characterized. The diarrhoea is particularly treacherous; that is, the patient does not have a proper sense of the accumulation of faecal matter in the rectum, and there is loss of power in the sphincter, so that the stool escapes easily, and when the desire for stool comes the patient is scarcely able to attend to it. Aloes has been prescribed with success in constipation with heavy pressure in the lower part of the abdomen, particularly with a feeling of a plug in the pelvis, as above mentioned; in chronic dysentery, with the abdominal symptoms of flatulence and the burning in anus and rectum, and discharge sometimes of jelly-like lumps, intense pain and soreness in rectum after the stool.
