Because you are pregnant, the primary goal is conservative care to manage symptoms until after delivery. Internal medications must be kept to a minimum---- 1.Shatavari capsules 1 cap twice daily with warm milk after meals 2.Gandhak rasayan 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 3.Triphala churna 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water Local Wound Care -Sitz Baths: Take a warm sitz bath for 10–15 minutes twice daily. You can use a Triphala decoction (boiled and strained Triphala water) -Application: After cleaning and drying the area, apply Jatyadi Taila using sterile gauze. -Sitting Support: Use a donut pillow or soft cushion to relieve direct pressure on the site when sitting. Important Precautions -Diet: Maintain a high-fiber diet with plenty of cooked vegetables and fruits to prevent constipation, which can worsen fistula pain. Avoid spicy and oily foods. -Surgery: Definitive Ayurvedic surgical treatments like Ksharasutra are usually deferred until after delivery. -Red Flags: Seek immediate medical attention from your surgeon or obstetrician if you experience fever, chills, severe pain, or foul-smelling discharge.

Hello, Andrew, this is a clear case of fistula in ano during pregnancy, and your surgeon’s advice (conservative until delivery) is correct and standard. The reopening + continuous pus means the tract is still active, not fully healed First priority (very important) Since you are 24 weeks pregnant, No aggressive procedures now unless emergency (abscess, severe infection) -Continue conservative management till delivery -Watch for worsening signs (fever, severe pain, swelling) Ayurvedic view -Bhagandar= fistula -caused by= pitta + kapha (pus formation), vata (tract formation + pain) Goal now -control infection -reduce discharge -support healing -keep area clean Internal support 1) Gandhak rasayana= 1 tab twice daily after meals =safe antimicrobial + wound healing support 2) Stool soft + healing very important -Triphala churna= 1 tsp at night with warm water =prevents strain ->key for fistula Local care most important in your case 1) Sitz bath= 2-3 times daily -warm water + turmeric + pinch of salt =reduces infection + pain 2) Dressing support -Apply jatyadi taila on sterile gauze =promotes healing, reduces pus Keep area= clean, dry, well ventilated Sitting and daily comfort -use soft cushion/donut pillow -avoid sitting > 30-40 min continuously -lie on side when possible Diet eat -high fiber vegetables, oats -warm fluids -ghee small amount-> healing Avoid -spicy, fried food -constipation triggers -excess sugar What to expect -discharge may continue during pregnancy (common) -pain and irritated can be controlled -definitive cure like ksharasutra surgery -> after delivery Seek immediate care if -fever develops -sudden swelling abscess reformation -severe pain increase -foul smell or bleeding Current condition= active fistula (controlled, not dangerous yet) Goal now -control infection -stay comfortable -prevent worsening Definitive treatment= after delivery Do follow Hope this might be helpful Thank you
