Fissure-in-Ano

Fissure-in-Ano is a painful condition characterized by a tear in the anal canal lining, often caused by constipation, hard stools, or strain during bowel movements. Ayurveda attributes it to aggravated Vata and Pitta doshas leading to dryness and inflammation. Treatment focuses on softening stools with herbal formulations like Avipathi Choornam and Triphala, applying soothing oils and ointments to aid healing, and performing local therapies such as sitz baths with medicated decoctions. Internal cleansing, diet rich in fiber, and Panchakarma therapies help restore digestive balance and prevent recurrence, providing a comprehensive and natural approach to long-term relief.
