Haemorrhoids are swollen veins located inside or around the anus that frequently present with symptoms such as bleeding, pain, burning, swelling, or discharge. In HIV-positive individuals, wound healing is often compromised, leading to hemorrhoids that become frequently infected or recurrent even after surgical intervention. This case report explores the homeopathic management of a 27-year-old HIV-positive male suffering from recurrent, infected internal and external hemorrhoids. The objective was to evaluate the efficacy of individualized homeopathy in an immunocompromised patient who remained symptomatic despite prior anal surgery and antibiotic treatment. The patient presented with bleeding, burning, swelling, and a highly offensive, yellow pustular discharge. Materials and methods involved a detailed clinical intake and repertorization, identifying a syco-syphilitic miasmatic background. Treatment was initiated with Nitric Acid 30C, later increased to 200C, to address the non-healing, painful, and offensive nature of the lesions. Results showed a progressive 85–90% reduction in hemorrhoidal size, complete resolution of the purulent discharge, and cessation of bleeding over four months. The patient resumed his normal daily routine without pain. It is concluded that individualized homeopathic prescribing provides a gentle and effective approach for managing chronic, non-healing hemorrhoids in patients with lowered vitality.
