Ayurvedic treatment for Anal fistula
Anal fistula, also called fistula-in-ano. It forms a tunnel between the inner lining of the anus and the surrounding skin. Typically stemming from an infection originating in the anal gland, anal fistulas manifest as abscesses that can either self-drain or necessitate surgical drainage.
Ayurveda offers remedies such as the Kshara Sutra and Kshara Karma techniques for treatment. Kshara Sutra involves inserting a medicated thread into the fistula tract to promote healing and closure. Kshara Karma, on the other hand, entails the application of medicated alkaline substances to destroy unhealthy tissues and encourage wound healing. With these Ayurvedic approaches, at Vaidya Hospital, we aim to effectively manage anal fistulas by addressing the root cause and promoting natural healing processes.
The inner portion of the anus contains a number of small glands. When one of these glands becomes infected, a tunnel is formed connecting the infected gland to an opening on the skin around the anus developing a fistula. The infected gland becomes filled in pus causing extreme pain, fatigue and discharge
