Friction of thread with outer skin causes cut. Chemical action of Kshar (alkaline coating) mild burning, irritation, inflammation. Improper hygiene or sweat may increase redness and discomfort.

Apply jatyadi oil over the affected area and visit to your doctor.
After ksher sutra treatment, it’s common to experience some discomfort and tenderness, especially if the thread shifts or becomes loose. With a small cut and swelling, sitz bath can indeed help with relief and healing. Warm water sitz baths, specifically twice a day for about 15-20 minutes, can promote healing and reduce any swelling. Make sure the water is comfortably warm, not too hot, to avoid irritaion.
Adding a teaspoon of turmeric powder or little of triphala churna to the water may bolster healing due to their antimicrobial properties. However, remember to pat the area dry gently afterward to prevent any moisture build-up, which can risk infection.
For topical application, consider an Ayurvedic ointment like Jatyadi Taila. This classical preparation is known for its wound healing properties. Apply a thin layer to the affected area after washing, ensuring cleanliness to aid the healing process. If Jatyadi Taila is unavailable, coconut oil, with its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, can serve as alternative but less potent option.
Diet plays a pivotal role in recovery, too. Focus on keeping your diet light and fiber-rich to avoid constipation, which can aggravate hemorrhoids. Include warm, cooked vegetables, soups, and whole grains. Drink plenty of warm fluids, like herbal teas with ginger or fennel, to aid digestion and maintain softness of stools.
Certainly, continue with regular follow-ups with your doctor to monitor healing and adjust treatment if necessary. If you experience increased pain, swelling, or symptoms of infection such as fever, seek immediate medical attention. Remember, your comfort and safety should always be prioritized in recovering process.
Do not worry, sitz bath is must , but after that keep the area dry And apply some medicated oil or simple coconut oil over that area , it will heal by its own But take some laxative so that you will not strain much while passing motion and it should not create further discomfort
