Abstract
The word “Parikartika'' means “cutting agony at the anal region,” or “Kartanvat vedana .” The main signs of this
illness are a drop of blood or a streak of fresh blood, together with excruciating pain and a burning feeling that
lingers for several hours during and after a bowel movement. According to Acharya Sushruta, the person who does
not adhere to the Aahara Vidhi and consumes food like Shushka(Dry), Viruddha (Incompatible), and Vishtambhi
(Obstructing) develops a condition called Agnivaishmya (dyspepsia), which is the main cause of all illnesses. One
of the significant causes of the fissure-formation process is constipation. . The modern diet of most people is
erratic due to the prevalence of fast food. Additionally, one leads a sedentary lifestyle and is constantly under
stress. All of these cause the digestive system to become disturbed, which in turn causes a variety of diseases.
Anorectal disorders are the most prevalent ones. The disease typically develops in females during pregnancy and
after giving birth The majority of acute anal fissures resolve without surgical intervention. Finger anal dilatation,
as well as lateral internal sphincterotomy, are two common operative techniques. Ayurved Treatment in
Parikartika consists of Basti Karma, Pichoodharan, Ksharakarma, Agnikarma, Shastrakarma, and a few oral
medications administered by Sushrutacharya and Charakacharya.

Introduction:
The art of living in humans is also medical science,
according to the ancient indigenous science of medicine
known as Ayurveda. The modern diet of most people is
erratic due to the prevalence of fast food. Additionally, one
leads a sedentary lifestyle and is constantly under stress.
All of these cause the digestive system to become
disturbed, which in turn causes a variety of diseases.
Anorectal disorders are the most prevalent
ones
[1].
Anorectal fissure is the most painful ailment that
disallows individuals to go about their daily lives without
too much discomfort. A fissure in ano is a painful
anorectal ailment that helps people lead their regular
activities with tolerable discomfort. A split or crack is
what the word "fissure" itself means.
[2]
It is characterized
by excruciating pain and bleeding during bowel
movements and is linked to internal anal sphincter spasms.
Modern research has divided fissure-in-ano into two
categories: acute and chronic. Anal fissures typically heal
on their own and are considered to be minor, but those that
are still symptomatic after 46 weeks are frequently
known as a chronic fissures.
[3]
The word “Parikartika”
means “cutting agony at the anal region,” or “Kartanvat
vedana”. The main signs of this illness are a drop of blood
or a streak of fresh blood, together with excruciating pain
and a burning feeling that lingers for several hours during
and after a bowel movement. In Bruhatrayi, Parikartika is
described as an illness that develops as a result of other
illnesses rather than as a separate illness.
[4]
The phrases
“Pari” (around the anus) and “Kartika” (cutting pain) are
combined to form the word “Parikartika”. Regarding the
Parikartika idea, several distinct viewpoints are stated. It
is a tearing agony that can occur anywhere in the body,
according to Acharya Dalhana. It is described as a cutting
type of agony that is particularly centered in Guda by
Madhavnidan commentator Vijayarakshit.
[5]
According to
Kashyap, pregnant women should be treated according to
the three varieties of Parikartika (Vataj, Pittaj, and
Kaphaj). Charaka described Parikartika as a Vataj
Atisara(Diarrhea) complication, one of the symptoms of
Vataj grahani( Irritable bowel syndrome), Parikartika also
occurs due to complications of various Panchakarma
procedures in Virechan Vyapad(Complication related to
purgation therapy), Basti Vyapad(Enema complication),
Basti Netra Vyapad (complication due to enema nozzel).
Parikartika is also referred to as purvarupa (prodormal
symptom) of Arsha (Haemorrhoids) in the Sushrut Samhita
and Ashtanga Sangraha. Parikartika was mentioned by
Kashyapa as a distinct illness in the context of
Vyapada(complication).
[6]
Predisposing Factors
According to Acharya Sushruta, the person who does not
adhere to the AaharaVidhi (diet regimen) and consumes
food like Shushka, viruddha, and Vishtambhi develops a
condition called Agnivaishmya (dyspepsia), which is the
main cause of all illnesses. He continued by saying that
everyone should consume food of all six Rasas (Tastes)
every day. So all ailments, especially anorectal diseases,
are caused by an unhealthy diet, hot food, and junk
food.
[7,8]
Multiple social, psychological, and physiological variables
might influence the chronic anal fissure's start,
progression, and effects on quality of life. The severity of
depression and anxiety has a deleterious effect on patients
with CAF (Chronic anal fissure) due to the high
comorbidity of psychopathology. Stress contributes to
CAF by acting as both a trigger and an aggravating
element.
[9,10]
One of the significant causes of the fissure-formation is
constipation. Among the other contributing causes include
the passing of hard stool, erratic eating patterns, ingestion
of hot and sour foods, poor bowel habits, and lack of anal
hygiene. The disease typically develops in females during
pregnancy and after giving birth. Initially appearing as a
Superficial split in the anoderm, an acute fissure has the
potential to develop into a chronic fissure.
[11,12]
Methodology:
The terms “Fissure in ano” and Parikartika" were
searched for in the online databases PubMed, PubMed
Central, Ayush portal, and IndMed. A total of 100
references from the databases' inception were found
through the search. The review included articles, case
studies, and case series written in English that discussed
the causes and remedies for fissures in ano. The review did
not include studies whose abstracts were unavailable or in
languages other than English. A total of 50 studies were
chosen for the final review.
Review Of Literature:
The fissures can be classified into Acute and Chronic.
Acute fissure is a longitudinal tear in the long axis of anal
canal. Chronic or complicated fissure in ano exhibits one
or more of the following characteristics, it is classified as
chronic or complex.
[13]
1. A fibrous anal polyp is present.
2. The existence of an external anal skin tag
3. Indurations or fibrosis of the edges of the fissure.
4. Visible fibres of the internal sphincter at the floor of
the fissure

5. An infected or suppurated fissure.
6. A bridged fissure with an underlying fistula (a post-
fissure fistula).
In the past, it has been seen that fissures exacerbated by
any of the aforementioned factors do not heal on their own
or respond to conservative treatment.
[14]
Anal fissures can
have a significant adverse effect on patients' quality of
life.
[15]
Various treatment modalities are given as per
modern and Ayurved which are discussed below. As per
Ayurveda the principal treatment of Parikartika is mainly
based on conservative and surgical management.

Deepana (Appetizer) and Ruksha Ushna (hot) Laghu
(Light) diet
1. Madhura (sweet) and Brihaniya (Nourishing) diets are
advised in thin & lean Patients.
2. In severe Vata aggravated condition , Ghrit with
Daadimarasa should be given.
[23]
Local treatment as per Ayurveda:
Treatment in Parikartika consists of Basti Karma
(medicated enema) and a few oral medications
administered by Sushrutacharya and Charakacharya. The
majority of enemas are made with Sarpi (Clarified butter),
oil, Godugdha( Cow milk), and other ingredients as
necessary. The majority of Basti Karma ingredients, such
as Vrana Shodhaka (Wound purification) and Vrana
Ropaka(Wound healing), have Vata Pitta-pacifying
properties. Systemic oral formulations improve digestion
through Agnideepana and Amapachana and treat
gastrointestinal disorders.
[24-25]
1.Matrabasti (type of Anuvasanabasti): It acts as a
retention enema and helps in the easy voiding of stools, by
this Vatanulomana (Correcting the functions of vata
dosha) occurs and it cures the diseases caused by
aggravated Vata as Parikartika is Vata dominant disease.
By giving Matra Basti local oleation occurs spasms will
also be reduced, which lowers the discomfort. It helps
maintain the anal canal, softens the faeces, and makes
expulsion simple. It functions as a detention enema and
facilitates easy bowel movements; as Parikartika is a
Vata-dominant disease, this causes Vatanulomana , which
cures diseases brought on by provoked Vata. By
administering Matrabasti, local oleation decreases pain
while also relieving spasms. It oleates the urethra, softens
the stools and makes evacuation of urine and stools easy.
2.Taila/Grita pichu: Pichu is a unique drug delivery
system of Ayurveda, "Pichu Sthoola kavalika” The term
"Pichu" refers to a thick cotton pad or swab. In the Pichu
Dharana procedure, a piece of cloth, gauze, or linen is
soaked in Ghrita or Taila and applied to the affected area
of the body. Pichu's local effects includes oleation,
scraping, and wound healing, are based on the body's
ability to absorb the medication.
[26]
3.Avgahasweda (hot fomentation-sitz bath): Seating in
the hot/warm tub following each bowel emptying relieves
discomfort and temporarily reduces internal sphincter
spasm. Additionally, it aids in fissure wound cleaning. It
takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
[27]
4.Local application of medicated taila and Ghrita:
Application of medicated taila or ghrita at the affected site
helps in healing the fissure due to the healing properties of
drugs used.
Chronic Fissure-In-Ano treatment According to the
Ayurvedic texts on Shushkarsha, Bahyarsha (External
haemmorhoids) and Sentinel Piles are related.
Sushruta Acharya Listed four treatment modalities.
1) Bheshaja (conservative line of Management)
2) Kshara (Alkali)
3) Agnikarma
4) Shastra.
1. Kshara ( Medicated thread smeared with kshar) :
Ligation of the KsharSutra to the Sentinel pile masses,
which cause them to collapse. Scraping action of Kshara,
reduces the excess fibrous Tissue present over the ulcer
surface and ulcer heals & Sphincter relaxation occurs
simultaneously.
2. Agnikarma: Para surgical procedure like Agnikarma
has been widely advised by Sushruta & doing Agnikarma
Treatment has provided marked relief & no recurrence.

electro Thermal cautery is done.
[27]
3. Shashtra (Surgical management)
Successful nonsurgical management of chronic anal
fissures improves symptoms and has a positive impact on
health.
[28]
The principle aim of treatment for anal fissures as per
modern is based upon conservative and surgical
management via decreasing inner sphincter tone and hence
facilitates the blood flow with subsequent tissue healing.
The use of medications and surgery are two treatment
options. Traditional pharmaceutical care involves the use
of muscle relaxants, commonly topical and occasionally
oral agents. These medications include calcium channel
blockers, Botulinum toxin, nitrates (ISDN or glyceryl
trinitrate (GTN)), agonists and antagonists of the -
adrenoreceptors, agonists of the muscarinic receptor, and -
adrenoreceptors. Gonyautoxin, a paralytic neurotoxin
derived from shellfish, is one of the more recent
pharmacological agents being tested.
Operative management:
i. Lateral internal sphincterotomy.
[29]
a. Open method
b. Closed method
ii. Lord’s anal dilation (blunt sphincterotomy)
[30]
iii. Fissurectomy and local advancement flap
[31,32]
Anal dilatation, as well as lateral internal sphincterotomy,
are two common operative techniques. Several colorectal
surgeons believe that finger anal dilatation is no longer an
effective treatment since it has been linked to the
emergence of anal incontinence. For treating persistent
fissures, lateral sphincterotomy has long been widely
recommended. Local flap operations like V-Y
advancement flaps and rotation flaps are examples of more
recent surgical interventions. The fissurectomy and
fissurotomy procedures were developed in response to
efforts at fissure correction. The advancement of calibrated
and regulated processes using anal dilatators or pneumatic
balloons is the result of renewed interest in the anal
dilatation technique. Sphincteroly, a novel technique for
bluntly dividing internal sphincter fibers, also has been
tried.
[33]
Discussion:
Anal fissures can have a significant adverse effect on
patients' quality of life. Major symptoms of this disease are
severe agonizing pain and burning sensation during and
after defecation which lasts for some hours and is
associated with a hard stool pellet and there is a drop of
blood or streak of fresh blood. Various treatment
modalities as per Ayurveda and modern medicine are
practiced worldwide. Different studies are conducted to
check the effectiveness of the single treatment modalities
as well as comparative studies.
The study was conducted on 135 patients who underwent
lateral internal sphincterotomy and received injections of
botulinum toxin to treat CAF. In this study, lateral internal
sphincterotomy has shown a higher complication rate than
botulin toxin injection but the recurrence rate was found to
be more in botulin toxin injection.
[34]
A study was conducted at the SBV University,
Pondicherry, India, a randomized study contrasting topical
2 % diltiazem against LIS for the management of CAF. 90
CAF patients (45 in each group) were divided into groups
A and B. The study concludes that LIS provides rapid pain
relief and healing of fissures, and it offers an effective
treatment choice. However, topical diltiazem is safe, and
easy to use with minimal adverse effects and may be
considered the first option.
[35]
In a prospective experiment, 60 surgical patients with
persistent fissures in ano were randomly assigned to Group
1 (Diltiazem gel) and Group 2 (internal sphincterotomy),
each with 30 patients. According to the study, Chemical
Sphincterotomy with Topical Diltiazem 2 percent should
be recommended as the initial course of therapy for
persistent anal fissures. Patients who have therapeutic
failure from past pharmacological therapy and relapse
should be administered internal sphincterotomy.
[36]
In a study patients were randomly randomized to receive
treatment either with a basic anal dilatation or a lateral SC
sphincterotomy. The allocation of patients was 30 for
lateral SC sphincterotomy and 28 for straightforward anal
dilatation. They concluded that lateral SC sphincterotomy,
as opposed to anal dilatation, is the preferred course of
treatment for individuals with chronic anal fissures.
[37]
In a study, ninety people diagnosed with fissure in ano
Glyceryl Trinitrate(GTN) Lotion significantly reduced
discomfort, prevented hemorrhage, and promoted
recovery. After 12 weeks, the GTN group demonstrated
that 86.6 percent of the chronic anal fissure had healed. At
6 and 12 weeks, however, the LIS group demonstrated
86.7% and 100% healing of the CAF, and the PIS group
demonstrated 80% and 100% healing of the chronic anal
fissure, respectively. Twenty percent of patients in the
GTN group experienced mild headaches as a secondary
effect, which were effectively handled with
acetaminophen. Although not substantial, comorbidities
including anal leakage and flatus incontinence were
somewhat more common after posterior sphincterotomy
than after lateral sphincterotomy. LIS thus outperforms
PIS.

In a study of 50 patients having CAF participated in quasi-
experimental research at a university hospital in Kerman,
where 25 got 20 units of botulinum toxin and 25 had LIS.
Botulinum toxin was found to be an efficient non-invasive
option in the clinical assessment for the management of
CAF.
[39]
According to the results of some other non-randomized
controlled experiments LIS and botulinum toxin injection
therapies appear to be equally beneficial in the
management of CAF,.
[40]
In a study conducted at Shahed University's performed a
prospective randomized controlled experiment. In this
research, 130 CAF patients were included. Two groups of
patients were created randomly. 65 individuals got oral
nifedipine (ON) and the same amount received topical
nifedipine (TN) . In the topical nifedipine group, ulcer
healing happened in 43 (73.33%) patients as opposed to 29
(49.5%) patients who received oral nifedipine, which was
substantially different (P 0.05). The oral nifedipine group
experienced higher adverse effects than the topical
nifedipine group, including headaches and redness.
Topical nifedipine has a greater function for treating anal
fissures with a positive effect and fewer complications,
even though oral nifedipine can lessen anal fissure
symptoms and indicators.
[41]
The study was carried out at the general surgery division
of a tertiary care facility in Eastern India. It was discovered
in this study that LIS was a superior kind of therapy for
CAF to fissurectomy. LIS had fewer postoperative
complications than fissurectomy. However, there was no
relapse in the fissurectomy group, although there was a
greater rate of relapse in the LIS group.
[42]
In a study Yashtimadhu Ghrita was administered to 18 of
the 36 patients admitted in Group A (n = 18), while
lignocaine-nifedipine ointment was applied locally to 18 of
the 36 Parikartika patients in Group B (n = 18). When
treating Parikartika symptoms, Yashtimadhu Ghrita and
lignocaine-nifedipine ointment both are similarly efficient
(acute fissure in ano). Mild adverse effects were reported
with lignocaine-nifedipine ointment.
[43]
In a study there were 30 patients with fissures in the ano,
of which 15 were in group A and 15 were in group B.
Group A (Ksharasutra) took less time than Group B to
provide postoperative pain, bleeding, edema, and tissue
repair alleviation (OLIS). OLIS produced superior
outcomes in the treatment of Parikartika relative to
Ksharasutra ligation (chronic fissure-in-ano).
[44]
In a study, patients with CAF were arbitrarily chosen from
the OPD and IPD of ShalyaTantra, IPGT, and RA, Gujarat
Ayurved University, Jamnagar, Gujarat, India. 50 patients
in Group A and 50 patients in Group B.
Group-A: Under appropriate anesthetic, Ksharasutra
suturing (KSS) at the fissure bed and trans-fixation of the
sentinel tag, if present, were performed. Compared to
Group-A, patients in Group B (KSS with Lord's anal
dilatation) experienced lower postoperative discomfort and
recovered faster (KSS). Each group’s surgical wounds
healed in 21 days, so it can be deduced that neither
Ksharasutra nor the rectal installation of Jatyadi Taila,
which aided in the rapid healing process, caused any
septicemia. No unfavorable medication or Ksharasutra
side effects were seen throughout or during this surgery.
The study's findings revealed that Ksharasutra is one
modality that may be employed to treat Parikartika.
[45]
There were 50 Parikartika patients altogether. Standard
Apamarga Ksharasutra,sitz bath Panchavalkala kwatha,
Eranda Bhrishta Haritaki Churna 5 g at night, along with
Triphala Guggulu Vati and Jatyadi Taila Pichu (Gauze
soaked in oil) for regional retention over the anal area.
Sentinel pile ksharasutra trans-fixation and ligation (KSL)
an appropriate anesthetic was used when working with the
fissure bed. The study concluded that Parikartika
Ksharasutra ligation, which involves lesser postoperative
discomfort and is simple to conduct, is a great substitute
for contemporary surgery. After the Ksharasutra was
removed, the wound continued to be normal, and the mean
surgical wound recovery duration was 21 days.
Consequently, it is an effective method for treating chronic
fissures.
[46]
In a study of 50 patients were diagnosed with Parikartika
treatment lasted a single stage with Ksharasutra suturing
for Parikartika, and patients were evaluated every week
for up to four weeks at the IPD (male and female Shalya
wards) as well as after leaving the hospital. In all, 56
percent of patients were judged to be cured, while 28
percent of patients were reported to be improving. 10% of
patients showed substantial improvement, while 6% of
patients showed modest improvement. As a result, all
patients received treatment by the evaluation criteria
established for the needed duration for relief in signs and
symptoms, and no patient was identified as having "No
alleviation."
[47]
In a study of 130 cases , 70 cases got complete relief, 29
cases got marked relief.14 cases got moderate relief, 1 case
got mild relief while 16 cases were dropped out from the
study as they did not turn up for follow-up. Thus it is
concluded that the efficacy of this treatment is highly
encouraging and the fissure healed without leaving any
scar. And this can be achieved with minimum expenditure
and without any risk. The principal drug and the
supportive therapy including the diet prescribed, dose
schedule, and duration of the treatment are as Kasisadi

Conclusion:
Due to the popularity of fast food, the majority of people's
diets are unpredictable today. One also lives a sedentary
lifestyle and experiences continual stress. These all result
in Agnidushti(vitiation of digestive fire), which in turn
results in several disorders. Anorectal diseases are the most
common of them. According to Ayurveda,
Nidanparivarjan(avoiding causative factor) and shaman
Chikitsa ( palliative treatment) assist to avoid the disease
since, as the saying goes, prevention is always preferable
to treatment. The Ayurvedic therapy methods include
shaman Chikitsa (Agnideepana, Aamapachana, and Vata
Pitta Shamak Dravya) Basti Karma, Pichu Dharan, and
Awagaha Sweda. Para Surgical procedures include
Agnikarma, Shastrakarma, as well as Ksharakarma
(Vrana Shodhaka and Vrana Ropaka). Anal dilatation,
sphincterotomy, fissurectomy, antibacterial, purgatives,
and lotions are among the therapies used in
allopathy medicine. Modern surgical therapy is more
useful for CAF than Ayurvedic medicine. Modern
surgeries make use of advanced equipment which has a
targeted approach and are focused on reducing
complications and hospital stay. But they require special
expertise to perform and also are not widely available and
they are not cost efficient. Also, they come with
complications and recurrence. On the other hand,
Ayurvedic modalities focus on lifestyle modifications
along with surgical management and are aimed at reducing
the recurrence of the disease, and have minimal risk and
side effects. Thus the integrative approach using both
modern and Ayurveda treatment modalities should be done
to improve the outcomes in the management of fissure-in-
ano.
