Ayurvedic Treatment for Fistula at Amar Clinic
Fistula in Ano, commonly called anal fistula, is a troubling and painful condition involving an abnormal tunnel or passage that forms between the anal canal and the perianal skin. This condition causes recurrent infections, discharge, pain, and discomfort, often severely affecting quality of life. Conventional surgical treatments can be invasive and sometimes risk recurrence or complications. Amar Clinic offers a trusted, natural, and scientifically validated Ayurvedic treatment protocol that alleviates pain, promotes healing, and ensures permanent cure without surgery or side effects.
What is Fistula?
A fistula is a small tunnel that forms due to chronic infection or abscess near the anus. When an abscess bursts or is drained incompletely, this unwanted tract remains, connecting the inner anal canal to external skin. This leads to persistent discharge, swelling, and pain. Fistulas are classified into simple or complex types depending on their size, location, and complexity.
Causes and Symptoms
Common Causes:
Untreated or recurrent anal abscesses
Infection of anal glands
Tuberculosis or chronic infections
Post-surgical complications
Trauma or chronic inflammation
Symptoms:
Recurrent pain and swelling around anus
Foul-smelling pus or blood discharge from an external opening
Itching and discomfort
Difficulty sitting or walking
Recurrence of infection despite treatment
Ayurvedic View on Fistula (Bhagandara)
In Ayurveda, fistula is known as Bhagandara, attributed mainly to the aggravation of Tridosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and Srotas (body channels) blockage due to infection and toxin accumulation (ama). The disease progresses due to impaired tissue nutrition (dhatu kshaya) and persistent localized inflammation.
Ayurvedic texts describe different types of Bhagandara based on dosha predominance and disease complexity, providing detailed treatment guidelines balancing doshas, detoxifying tissues, and promoting natural healing.
