Ksharasutra Treatment In Fistula-In-Ano And Pilonidal Sinus!

Conventional surgery method used to treat anorectal disorder involves surgery which leads to a lot of post-operative complications. This is where the natural Ayurvedic treatment of Kshar Sutra has an advantage over traditional techniques of surgery. An ayurvedic surgeon addresses anorectal disorders by using the ksharasutra method, a method that does not involve any incisions and consequently, post-surgery complications.

A fistula-in-ano is the formation of an abnormal granulation tissue (new connective tissue along with minute blood vessels) connecting an opening in the anal canal to another in the perenial skin. This condition is almost similar to the condition of anorectal abscess.

Causes-
When the fluid secreting glands inside the anus become clogged, it leads to the buildup of an infected swollen tissue. This is an abscess which is the causative factor responsible for fistula-in-ano.

A pilonidal sinus is a small hole formation that erupts on the cleft area, at the top of the buttock. It occurs at the tailbone consisting of hair and dirt that causes a lot of pain. Sometimes it is filled with liquid pus forming into a cyst that increases the chances of infection. It is a most common disease among men.

This condition develops from the friction of the skin in the rectal area while sitting. Sometimes hormonal changes are also responsible for a pilonidal sinus.

Symptoms-

• Pain during bowel movement
• Ocassional bleeding from the rectal
• Trouble while sitting
• Swelling of the cysts and around the anal area
• Draining of pus from the anus with a foul smell
• A hole develops on the skin in case of Pilonidal Sinus

Ayurvedic treatment-
Kshar-sutra is a minimal invasive Ayurvedic parasurgical treatment used to cure fistula and anorectal diseases. A special thread is prepared (called Kshar Sutra) which acts by ‘herbal chemical cauterization’ and eliminates diseases from the body.

Procedure: The Kshar Sutra is coated with ayurvedic herbs. There are three types of Kshar Sutra based on the number of coatings and the quality of materials used. Each patient gets customized treatment as per his or her own requirements.

The process includes cutting and debridement, along with healing within an optimal time. As a result, the chances of recurrence are minimal.

Therefore, the Ayurvedic Kshar Sutra therapy is a more preferred method of treatment over conventional modern surgeries. The chances of anal inconsistency are lowered, recovery is swift and the treatment is cost effective.
