What is Fistula in ano ?

In early stages, patient don’t understand the seriousness of a boil / pimple on the buttock or near anus. But that pimple can be an external opening of fistula or perianal abscess. Anal Fistula is said to have existed since more than 4000 years. To cure fistula-in-ano, is a big challenge for medical world. In spite of the tremendous developments of modern medical science in surgery, Fistula cure is not assured. Father of surgery – ‘ Sushrut ‘ explained this disease & fistula treatment 4000 years before. The types, causes, symptoms of fistula ( Bhagandara in Marathi) & its treatment were explained by Sushrut Maharshi are effective till today. It proves the stability of the divine knowledge of AYURVEDA.

How anal fistula occurs?

The word fistula (in latin) means flute, pipe or tube. Anal Fistula is an abnormal tube like passage (communication) that connects an abscess, an infected cavity in the anus, to an opening on the skin around the anus. One opening of the fistula tube is inside the anal canal (Internal opening) and another opening is on skin surface around the anus (External opening). 

The anus is the external opening through which feces are expelled from the body. Just inside the anus are a number of small glands that make mucus in the inter-sphincteric space. Occasionally, these glands get clogged and can become infected, leading to an abscess. About half of these abscesses may develop into a fistula.  In around 80% of cases, anal fistulae are secondary to a cryptogenic (infectious) process involving the anal glands. Infection of the anal glands leads to abscess formation in the inter-sphincteric planes which can then bud in different directions. Once the tract reaches an epithelized surface, it completes a fistula.

The external opening may get closed as body tries to resist the infection. In this condition, infection gets locked inside forming an abscess. This condition is always painful. When the abscess ripe, it bursts and  a yellowish pus discharge, blood keep coming from the external opening remains open.

How To Heal Fistula Without Surgery

Due failure in existing surgical techniques modern surgical experts are always searching for new ( so called ) advance techniques. But Ayurvedic kshar sutra treatment has proven the best among all since 4000 years. It should be if used scientifically.

Actually all modern surgical & medicinal techniques are just to remove the existing infection in the fistula track. But the kshar sutra treatment in Ayurveda has much more thoughts beyond that.

So in our clinic in Pune we are able to cure fistula patients without antibiotics.

This treatment is the best alternative for modern surgery techniques. Kshar sutra treatment is now replacing all complex surgeries for all types of fistula with great success rate.

We have developed different probing techniques for each type of fistula. Using appropriate technique, kshar sutra is inserted correctly in the fistula tract.

Duration of treatment is 4 to 8 weeks. The duration & cost of the treatment depend on the length & stage of fistula. No recurrence , no daily dressing required , no hospitalization required , no bed rest and can resume his / her routine work within few hours .

Kshar sutra For Fistula

Fistula treatment is a challenge for modern medical science. Antibiotics & advance surgeries can not assure the removal of fistula track & infection. In our Pune clinic, we are proud to say that we have cured those patients who were not cured by advance repeated surgeries. Any drug of any pathy ( Ayurveda, Homeopathy or Allopathy ) can control the fistula infection but can not cure fistula completely. So do not waste your time & money in the hope of some miracle.

Fistula treatment without surgery is possible by Ayurvedic Kshar sutra treatment. Our 24 years research has made a revolution. We combined ancient and modern knowledge. We have simplified complex surgical method to a half hour procedure. This can be performed under local anesthesia.

How Kshar sutra Treatment Works

Kshar sutra - both cutting & healing action -

1) Pressure necrosis

2) Chemical cauterization by kshara (alkali)

3) Sloughing of the tissue of the walls of the fistulous track

4) Cutting provides adequate drainage. It leads to an easy debridement of unhealthy tissue and pus etc.

Thus providing a cleaner base for the wound healing of the track. The Kshar-sutra is changed weekly so that an average pace of cutting of about 0.5-1 cm/week is maintained along with healing from behind. Finally the whole track is cut through and the fistula / pilonidal sinus gets healed up with minimal scarring and without any other major complication. Infection is not the only cause in fistula. The structure itself is a big cause of recurrence. As kshar-sutra totally destroys the unhealthy tissue & structure, there is no recurrence.

 In our clinic, in India we treat fistula and pilonidal sinus only by Kshar Sutra treatment. As we prepare the medicated threads our self, we are confident about it’s action. So we don’t us any antibiotic before, after or during the procedure. This treatment is the best alternative for modern surgery techniques. Kshar sutra treatment is now replacing all complex surgeries for all types of fistula with great success rate.
