Anal fistula, known as 'Bhagandara' in Ayurveda, is an abnormal connection between the anal canal and the perianal skin. This condition often arises from an untreated anal abscess, leading to a persistent tract that can cause discomfort and complications. Dr. Garje's Ayurved Panchakarma Clinic in Navi Mumbai specializes in holistic Ayurvedic treatments for anal fistula, focusing on root cause elimination and long-term relief.
🔍 Causes of Anal Fistula
In Ayurveda, anal fistula is primarily attributed to an imbalance in the Vata and Kapha doshas, leading to poor digestion and chronic constipation. This imbalance can result from:
- Chronic anal abscesses
- Poor digestion (Agni)
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Improper dietary habits
- Chronic constipation
- Underlying conditions like Crohn’s disease or tuberculosis
⚠️ Symptoms of Anal Fistula
- Pain and swelling around the anus
- Continuous or intermittent pus or blood discharge
- Itching or irritation in the anal region
- Foul-smelling discharge
- Recurrent abscess formation
🩺 Diagnosis at Dr. Garje's Clinic
- Anoscopy
- Fistula probing
- Ultrasonography or MRI (if required)
🌿 Ayurvedic Treatment at Dr. Garje's Ayurved Panchakarma Clinic
Dr. Garje's clinic offers a comprehensive Ayurvedic approach to treating anal fistula, focusing on both internal and external therapies:
1. Kshara Sutra Therapy
A minimally invasive treatment involving a medicated thread (Kshara Sutra) that is placed in the fistula tract. The thread is coated with a herbal alkaline paste, which gradually cleanses and heals the tract, leading to its closure.
2. Panchakarma Therapies
- Virechana (Purgation Therapy): Helps eliminate excess Pitta dosha and cleanse the digestive tract, reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
- Basti (Medicated Enemas): Useful in balancing Vata dosha and relieving constipation, a common underlying cause of fistulas.
3. Herbal Remedies
Ayurvedic practitioners may prescribe a combination of herbs with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties to manage infections, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
4. Dietary and Lifestyle Modifications
- High-fiber foods: such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes to promote regular bowel movements.
- Adequate hydration: ensuring sufficient water intake to prevent dehydration and ease bowel movements.
- Avoiding spicy, oily, and processed foods: that can aggravate the condition.
