Fistula in Ano:
Healing Complex Tracks,
From the Root
A small boil that keeps bursting near the anus, with pus, pain & swelling that never fully heals. It’s not just an infection — it’s a tunnel (fistula track) from inside. Ayurveda’s Kshar Sutra therapy is the WHO-recognized gold standard to cut, drain & heal the track from within — without cutting muscles.
What is Fistula in Ano / Bhagandara?
In Ayurveda, it's called Bhagandara — a condition that tears apart. It starts as an abscess (infection) near the anus. When the abscess bursts or is drained, it leaves a tunnel connecting the anal canal to the outer skin. Pus keeps collecting and discharging through this tunnel. This is why ointments and antibiotics give temporary relief but it comes back.
Low Fistula
Track is below the sphincter. Simple, heals faster with single Kshar Sutra.
Track goes through or above sphincter muscles, may have multiple branches. Needs Inter-sphincteric approach + Kshar Sutra.
Already operated but came back. The internal opening was missed. Needs MRI mapping + classical Kshar Sutra to trace all branches.

Why Fistula Recurs Even After Drainage Surgery?
Drainage is not treatment. The track must be removed.
The missing link in most treatments
Internal opening not found
Branches left
Only drainage not simultaneous healing

Treatments Aftercare
Conventional surgery removes the pile mass but does not correct the underlying tissue metabolism, bowel load, and sphincter tone. The wound heals, but the field remains diseased.
✓ Daily dressing — keep tract dry, change as instructed, no self creams
✓ Kshara Sutra change on schedule — never miss, carry previous thread
✓ High protein diet (moong, eggs if taken, milk), support wound healing
✓ Avoid long sitting, bike, strenuous activity till tract cut-through
✓ Pus discharge till heals is expected — share photo on WhatsApp weekly
✓ Weekly follow-up till cut-through, then till wound closure
POST-TREATMENT CARE
Common Doubts, Answered Privately
Yes, for recurrent / complex fistula MRI fistulogram is gold standard. For simple low fistula, clinical exam is enough. Bring your MRI on first visit.
Slight discomfort during thread change for 10 minutes, much less painful than fistulotomy surgery. Most patients go to office next day.
What is the recurrence rate after Kshar Sutra?
Most patients join work in 1-2 days. No bed rest needed. You just come weekly for 5-10 min thread change.
Yes. All consultations are one-on-one in a private chamber. Your medical history is strictly confidential and never shared.
We know this is personal. Here are questions patients ask before booking. Still unsure? Your private consultation covers everything.
Less than 5-7% in simple fistula when classical method is used and diet followed, vs 20-40% recurrence in conventional surgery for complex tracks.
Is Kshar Sutra painful?
Do I need MRI for fistula?
How long will I need to stay off work?
Is the consultation truly private?
CLARITY
Tired of That Recurring Boil? End The Track, Not Just The Pus.
One private consultation with MRI mapping can tell you if your fistula is simple or complex — and the exact time it will take to heal permanently.
