Anal Fistula Treatments - Ayurvedic Treatment

Most patients suffering from the presence of an anal fistula in their body are unaware of what it actually is.

The patients only experience the symptoms like itching, pus in anal region, pain and discomfort. These symptoms are reported to the physician who then treats the individual. In simple words, the condition is also known as fistula in ano. A fistula is basically a track or tunnel like connection between different parts of the body.

It is an abnormal internal connection that connects organs on the internal side to the anal region. It can have more than one external opening through the anus or rectum.

Nowadays, many medical products are available in the market for the treatment of anal fistula conditions.

Medical procedures are needed for curing fistulae because they seldom heal on their own. The main reason for this is the development of fiber-tissues and payogenic membrane which restrict the possibility of self-healing. Hence, treatment options focus on the removal of these through surgery.

Skin grafts are also done as an alternative method. Some doctors also use the fibrin glue to close the abnormal linkage. A method called Fistulectomy may be employed. Here, the affected region is subjected to laser beams which helping in sealing the channels.

However, the most formative medical procedures were based on ayurvedic principles.

If one reads the Ayurveda medical transcripts, one will find detailed information and classification of fistulae based on type and cure. Based on severity they are classified as the vata, the Pitta & the kapha. The most noted form of treatment is the Ksharsutra treatment.
In this method, a Ksharsutra is used which is a special thread. This thread is prepared by repeatedly dipping it in different medicinal liquids. Alternatively, it may be brought in contact with a number of medical products about 15 to 20 times. All the agents are of plant origin which means that they are herbal and not systemized with chemicals.

Nevertheless, these multiple coat threads are used for treatment along with specific drugs.

The anal fistula is cleansed; cut, drained and other required actions are performed using the special threads. This method is effective and useful. The chronic condition of tunneling inside the body, openings in the mucosa lining, outer tissue damage and other symptoms can be addressed by Ksharsutra methodology.

The subject however is very vast and only specialized medical professionals and healthcare experts practice it.
