Hello dear, This is Dr. Vinayak Since the fistula is chronic and length of the tract is also more.

Only Oral medications will not help you as much.

I suggest you to undergo kshara sutra therapy under a Shalya Tantra expert / Ayurvedic surgeon.

Until then,what u can do is Triphala guggulu BD after food Gandhaka rasayana BD after food

Have warm water for drinking. Have fibrous, warm and freshly cooked food. Avoid heavy foods like meat, Maida, soft drinks, chips etc.

Sitz bath with panchavalkala solution for at least 3-4 time a day.

Take care. Thank you.

Should be gor dor ayuevedic ksharasutra terapy it’s have less recurrence,less bleeding,less pain no hospital stay and affordable last no sphinter damage should be consulting ayuevedic surgeon

Dr RC BAMS MS (shalya) Ano rectal surgeon

A fistula that is 8 cm internal and 4 cm external with one active opening pus discharge pain while sitting, fever episodes and long-standing duration is considered a complex fistula in the state medicines alone-Ayurvedic Cure Alpa cannot close the track Triphala guggulu and vriddhibhadika vati or helpful for inflammation and digestion, but they cannot eat or drink and already for long fistulous tract

A long track with person, fever means infection is active. If this continuous the track becomes deeper and branching can start because he has sitting job and the area is continuously pressed, natural healing becomes even more difficult

The safest and most effective option for this type of fistula is surgical management In ayurveda, the preferred procedure is ksharasutra because it gradually cuts and heels the track without damaging the spinchter In modern surgery, options include Fistulotomy or fistulectomy depending upon contract position Both approaches have good success when done by an experienced surgeon Medicines can support recovery, but cannot replace surgical removal or lsharasutra a track of this size

If you delay intervention risk, recurrent abscess formation new openings, more pain while sitting and chronic infection affecting general health

You can share his MRI fistulogram report that will confirm the exact type of fistula and guide, which procedure is safest

1.Triphala Guggulu 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 2.Vaidyanath Vati (Vati Vaka) 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 3.Gandhaka Rasayan 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 4.Jatyadi Taila-Apply gently on the openings

Panchavalkala Kwath (for Sitz bath)-for 15-20 mi in warm decoction twice daily

Adv: Visit a near by Ayurvedic Surgeon for Kshara sutra

Ksharasutra Therapy (Ayurvedic Parasurgery) - What it is: A medicated thread inserted into the fistula tract to gradually cut, heal, and disinfect. - Why it helps: Minimally invasive, outpatient-based, and effective for long tracts like yours (8 cm).

Hello For fistula ayurveda has very good treatment, Consult personally ayurvedic doctor for ksharsutra treatment. Meanwhile you can take Kishore guggul 1-0-1 Gandhak rasayan 1-0-1 Triphala guggul 1-0-1 All after food with water

Do sitz bath twice daily with betadine drops Avoid spicy, heat producing foods Avoid nonveg if you are non-vegetarian.

Go for surgery (Ksharsutra) – NOT conventional fistulotomy. Complex fistula (long tract, pus, recurrent) → Ayurvedic surgery (Ksharsutra) cures 90–95% with minimal recurrence & preserves sphincter (safe for continence). Medicines alone fail in pus-filled tracts >6 months.

Immediate Plan Start antibiotics (consult surgeon) → drain pus + control fever. Book Ksharsutra ligation at reputed Ayurvedic hospital Continue Triphala Guggulu (2 tab × 2/day) till surgery.

Post-Surgery Support Jatyadi Ghrita dressing daily. Sitz bath with Triphala water 2x daily. Avoid sitting >30 min → use donut cushion.

HELLO,

You are suffering from a chronic anal fistula, which means there is an abnormal tunnel between the inside of your anus and the skin around your anus

In your case -Inner opening= about 8 cm deep inside -Outer openiing= about 4 cm from anal margin (visible or disturbing area) -Symptoms= pus discharge, painwhile sitting, fever, anxiety, and discomfort durning work (sitting job(

This indicates that -the infection has been persistent for a long term -the tract is long, so infection is deep seated -the pus means active infection -fever and anxiety show your body’s internal inflammation and exhaustion from chronic infection

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BODY An anal gland near the rectum gets infected-> forms an abscess-> if not healed properly, it bursts or drains-> leaving behind a small channels (fistula) Because this tract remains infected, it never closes on its own unless it’s opened, cleaned, and allowed to heal properly from inside out

AYURVEDIC VIEW This is known as Bhagandar-a chronic tract formed due to dosha imbalance (especially pitta and kapha) with Aam (toxins) leading to pus, burning, and chronic infection -PITTA-> causes inflammation , pus, burning, fever -KAPHA-> causes stickiness, slow healing,swelling -VATA-> causes pain, dryness, and anxiety Ayurveda aims not only to remove the tract but also to balance doshas, detoxify the body, and prevent recurrence

TREATMENT GOALS -remove infection and pus completely -open or drain the fistula tract fully so it can heal from inside -prevent recurrence by removing the root cause -rebuild tissue health and improve digestion and immunity -restore comfort in sitting, working, and digestion

TREATMENT PLAN

1) MAIN LINE OF TREATMENT KSHARA SUTRA THERAPY -A medicated herbal thread (soaked in caustic herbal preparations like Apamarga kosher, snuhi latex, and turmeric) is passed through the fistula tract -It is tied from inside to outside and the medicine on the thread cuts, drains, and heals the tract gradually -The thread is changed every 7-10 days until the tract heals completely -Average time= 6-10 weeks depending on tract length

WHY THIS WORKS -It cleans infection, destroys unhealthy tissue, promotes healthy granulation, and heals from inside without damaging anal spinchter no loss of control

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIPHALA GUGGULU = 2 tabs twice daily after mals =anti inflammatory, antibacterial ,helps wound healing and reduces pus

2) GANDHAK RASAYANA= 1 tab twice daily with warm water = purifies blood, controls infection, improves ski/tissue healing

3) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals = liver detox, improves digestion, reduces toxins

4) MANJISTHADI KASHAYA= 20 ml twice daily after meals =blood purifier, anti inflamamtory

5) PANCHATIKTA GHRITA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =reduces chronic pus and infection

6) ABHYARISHTA= 15 mlwith equal wtaer twice daily after meals =impoves bowel movement, prevents constipation

7) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab twice daily afte rmeals =reduces stress, promotes calmnss

DURATION= 2-3 months

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) TRIPHALA SITZ BATH= sit in warm Triphala decoction for 15 min twice daily =reduces swelling, pain and infection

2) JATYADI TAILA= apply gently after cleansing =speeds wound healing, reduces discharge

3) TURMERIC AND COCONUT OIL PASTE= apply externally if no open wound =natural antiseptic and healing

4) CLEAN, DRY, HYGIENE= use soft tissue or cotton pads to keep area dry =prevents bacterial growth

DIET -warm, light,easily digestible food= moong dal, khichdi, rice, vegetable soups, ghee -green vegetables, bottle gourd, pumpkin, ridge gourd, buttermilk with roasted cumin -2-3 L of warm water daily -cow ghee 1 tsp daily- supports tissue repair

AVOID -spicy, oily, fried foods -fermented or stale food -meat, eggs, alcohol, smoking -comstipation straining worsens tract

YOGA ASANAS -pawanmuktasana helps bowel movement -bhujangasana= increases blood flow to the recta area -makarasana= relaxing for Lower back and pelvic area -vajrasana= aids digestion

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= mind and body, calms anxiety -Bhramari= relieves tension and promotes healing -Deep abdominal breathing= supports gut healing

HOME REMEDIES -Turmeric milk at night acts as natural antibiotic -Aloe vera juice 20 ml daily- anti inflammatory’ -Fenugreek water= improves digestion and reduces infection -Triphal powder 1 tsp at bedtime natural laxative prevents constipation

Your condition is treatable and controllable, but because its chronic and long , home remedies alone will not close the fistula The best choice is ksharasutra therapy, as it’s safe natural, effective for chronic tracts, and preserves your normal anal function

If you delay the infection may deepen cause multiple tracts, or affect your overall health

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Given the details you’ve shared about your condition, it is crucial to carefully consider your options. Fistula-in-ano, especially with such dimensions, often requires a surgical intervention, especially if it is causing significant discomfort and symptoms like pus, fever, and anxiety. Surgery is generally recommended when the fistula tract is long or complex, and your 8 cm long inner tract suggests this might be the case. This will help to remove the infection entirely and offer relief from symptoms.

In terms of Ayurveda, while you are already taking Triphala Guggulu and Vadiwakabati, these can offer supportive care by balancing your doshas and helping to reduce inflammation and support digestion. However, they are unlikely to be sufficient as sole treatments for fully resolving an active infection in a fistula of this size.

If surgery is pursued, Ayurveda can play an important role in post-operative care. It aids in wound healing and maintaining overall dosha balance during recovery. Ayuredic practices can also complement the healing process - this can include herbal decoctions such as Khadirarishta, light and easily digestible food to keep your agni (digestive fire) strong, and herbs like Ashwagandha for managing stress.

Dietary adjustments stay important too! Avoid spicy, heavily processed foods that can aggravate your vata and pitta doshas. Instead, consume warm, soothing meals that include moong dal khichadi and rice. Drink plenty of warm water to assist in detoxing and digestion.

It is essential, however, to consult with both a medical doctor and a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to create a comprehensive plan that ensures your complete recovery. Addressing this surgically would likely provide you with the most relief, especially since it’s impacting your everyday activities and overall well-being.

kshar sutra is best option
