Hello Bhargavi,could you provide more details about your bowel habits? Do you experience constipation or straining during bowel movements? Have you noticed any changes in your diet or stress levels recently? How long have you been dealing with the pain and swelling near the anus, and have you had any prior treatments or interventions for anal fissures or abscesses? Additionally, are you experiencing any other symptoms such as fever, fatigue, or changes in urination aside from difficulty passing urine?
Since you have anal fissure, perianal abscess, severe pain, white bubble (pus drainage), swelling, and difficulty passing urine, the focus should be on: ✅ Reducing pain & swelling ✅ Draining the pus & preventing infection ✅ Healing the fissure & improving digestion

1. Ayurvedic Remedies for Quick Healing
✅ Triphala Powder (For Soft Stools & Healing Fissure) • Take 1 tsp Triphala powder with warm water at bedtime to prevent constipation.
✅ Gandhak Rasayan (For Abscess & Infection Control) • Take 1 tablet twice daily with warm water. This purifies the blood & promotes wound healing.
✅ Kanchanar Guggulu (For Abscess & Swelling Reduction) • Take 2 tablets twice daily after meals with lukewarm water.
✅ Jatyadi Taila or Panchavalkala Kwath Sitz Bath (For Healing & Pain Relief) • Boil Neem leaves + Triphala + Turmeric in water. Sit in this warm water for 15 minutes twice daily. • Alternatively, apply Jatyadi Taila directly on the affected area.
✅ Aloe Vera & Coconut Water (For Cooling & Inflammation Relief) • Take 2 tbsp Aloe Vera juice in ½ cup coconut water in the morning.
🚫 Avoid strong purgatives (like Castor oil) as they may worsen the fissure.

Hello Bhargavi, Please get yourself examined from a proctologist as the abscess can converted in fistula if ignored and get treated from an Ayurvedic Shalya Expert ;’(surgeon).
I’m really sorry you’re going through this, an anal fissure along with a perianal abscess can be truly painful and it’s crucial first to address the immediate concerns. From what you’re describing, it sounds like you may need immediate medical intervention to avoid complications. These symptoms might require surgical drainage by a professional. Please don’t ignore the urgency here—if the pain worsens or you develop a fever, go to a hospital.
Once that’s sorted, from an Ayurvedic view, let’s look at supportive measures for healing and prevention. The issue you’re having is often tied with a Pitta imbalance, which could be causing inflammation and burning sensations. Try integrating cooling foods into your diet, like cucumber, watermelon, and coconut water which might help soothe Pitta.
Ghee is another friend here. Applying some warm ghee around the anal area after you’ve cleaned it can aid in healing fissures—it has natural healing properties that Ayurveda praises. Make sure to keep the area as dry and clean as possible to prevent any further infections. Sitz baths with warm water and a little bit of neem or turmeric powder might provide some relief too, as both have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.
Also, consider your diet. Favor fiber-rich foods like whole grains, green leafy vegatables, and fruits to keep your stools soft and regular. Drink plenty of water, avoid spicy, oily, and processed foods that can irritate the gut and make matters worse.
Stress is another piece of the puzzle; it can aggravate Pitta, so integrating a simple routine like daily pranayama or meditation could be beneficial. But rememeber, while these suggestions can assist during recovery, immediate professional medical evaluation is key, especially if new or severe symptoms develop. Take care, and I truly wish you better days ahead!
