Learn MorePiles, Fissure or Fistula? पहचान और अंतर
The three problems feel alike but are different. Use this table as a guide, then get examined to be sure.
| Feature | Piles (बवासीर) | Fissure (फिशर) | Fistula (भगंदर) |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Swollen veins inside or around the anus | A small tear in the lining of the anal canal | An abnormal tunnel between the anal canal and the skin |
| Ayurvedic name | Arsha | Parikartika | Bhagandara |
| Typical pain | Often painless; pain if swollen or clotted | Sharp, cutting pain during and after stool | Throbbing pain, worse before discharge |
| Bleeding | Bright red blood, often with stool | Small streaks of bright red blood | Uncommon; blood may mix with pus |
| Other signs | Lump, itching, feeling of incomplete evacuation | Spasm, fear of passing stool, skin tag | Boils, pus discharge, a small opening near the anus |
| Common triggers | Constipation, straining, low-fibre diet | Hard stools, constipation, diarrhoea | Anal abscess that did not heal |
| Heals on its own? | Early stages may improve with care | Recent tears often heal with care | Rarely; a tract usually needs a procedure |
| Our usual approach | Medicines, diet, Kshar Sutra in selected cases | Medicines, sitz bath, diet and local care | Kshar Sutra therapy with regular follow-up |
Kshar Sutra vs Laser treatment
We practise Kshar Sutra therapy. Here is how it compares with laser, so you can make an informed choice.
| Feature | Kshar Sutra | Laser treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Medicated herbal thread treats the tract gradually | Laser energy is used to close the tract or shrink tissue |
| Sphincter muscle | Gradual cutting and healing aims to protect the sphincter | Aims to save muscle; results vary with the type of tract |
| Complex or high fistula | Widely used in complex fistulas | May not suit every type of tract |
| Recurrence | Reported to be low in properly selected cases | Recurrence is reported in some cases |
| Cost | Generally more economical | Generally higher, due to equipment cost |
| Wound care | Wound heals gradually from within with medicated dressings | Small wound, quick procedure |
| Visits needed | Regular thread changes, usually weekly | Fewer visits, but follow-up is still required |
| Healing time | Takes longer; depends on tract length | Can be quicker in suitable cases |
| Side-effects | Mild discomfort or discharge during treatment | Pain, swelling or incomplete closure can occur |
This is a general comparison. The right choice depends on your examination and the type of problem. Outcomes differ from person to person.
