Don’t ignore the pain

Fissure Diseases refer to a painful condition characterized by tears or small cuts in the lining of the anal canal. These fissures often cause discomfort, pain, bleeding, and difficulty during bowel movements. Anal fissures can be acute or chronic and are usually located in the posterior midline of the anus.

Types of Fissure Diseases

Primarily, Fissure Diseases are categorized into:

1. Acute Anal Fissures: Short-term tears in the lining of the anal canal, usually healing within a few weeks with appropriate treatment.
2. Chronic Anal Fissures: Persistent tears that last for more than six weeks, often requiring prolonged or specialized treatment.

Symptoms of Fissure Diseases

1. Pain during Bowel Movements: The primary symptom of an anal fissure is sharp, stabbing pain during and after bowel movements.

2. Bleeding: Bright red blood on toilet paper or in the toilet bowl after a bowel movement is a common sign of a fissure.

3. Itching and Irritation: The area around the anus may become itchy and irritated due to the presence of the fissure.

4. Fissure Depth and Location: Superficial fissures are close to the anal opening and tend to heal more quickly, while deeper fissures may take longer to resolve.

Causes of Fissure Diseases

1. Constipation and Straining: The most common cause of fissures is the passage of hard or large stools. Straining during bowel movements can lead to small tears in the anal lining.

2. Chronic Diarrhea: Frequent episodes of diarrhea can also irritate the anal area, potentially leading to fissures.

3. Childbirth: In some cases, childbirth can lead to the development of fissures due to the pressure exerted during delivery.

4. Anal Sex: Engaging in anal intercourse without proper lubrication or care can cause tears in the anal lining.

5. Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD): Conditions like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis can increase the risk of developing anal fissures.

Prevention of Fissure Diseases

• Keep the anorectal area clean and dry.
• Wipe the area with soft material or a moistened cloth, or cotton pad.  
• Do not prolong to treat constipation, if you suffer from the same.
• Consuming a high-fiber diet to soften stools and ease bowel movements
• Staying hydrated to maintain soft stools
• Avoiding excessive straining during bowel movements
• Practicing good anal hygiene
• Treating underlying conditions that contribute to the fissures

Ayurvedic Treatment For Fissure Diseases

In severe cases or incidences of chronic anal fissures, more drastic intervention may be required to cure the condition and fissure treatment without surgery may not be possible. Fortunately, ancient Ayurvedic physicians also crafted a minimally invasive parasurgical procedure that is regarded as extremely effective.

Described as Kshara Karma therapy, the procedure is mentioned in some of the most notable Ayurvedic texts by Sushruta and Charaka. The procedure, which must be conducted in a clinical setting, requires surgical excision, but takes just 30 to 45 minutes to perform, requiring only a few hours of hospitalization.

Patients recover within just 3 to 5 days and there is no need for pharmaceutical drugs that can cause severe side effects. The therapy is regarded as a viable alternative to conventional care, with studies showing a recurrence rate as low as 3.33% compared to the 26% recurrence rate associated with conventional surgery. However, it is advisable to seek such treatment only in a reputed hospital with a qualified surgeon who is familiar with the technique.

Kshara Karma Treatment For Fissure Diseases

Kshara Karma therapy is an ancient Ayurvedic treatment specifically utilized to manage anal fissures, a painful condition characterized by tears in the lining of the anal canal. This therapy involves the application of Kshara (a combination of alkaline and herbal extracts) directly onto the fissure using a specialized procedure. The Kshara helps in cauterizing the fissure tissue, promoting controlled necrosis (death) of unhealthy tissue while stimulating the growth of new, healthy tissue. This therapeutic approach aids in reducing pain, inflammation, and promoting the healing of the fissure. Kshara Karma therapy is recognized for its minimally invasive nature, resulting in faster recovery and a decreased likelihood of recurrence compared to conventional surgical methods. It’s essential to seek this treatment from experienced Ayurvedic practitioners well-versed in Kshara Karma techniques to ensure its safe and effective application for anal fissures.
