Fistula can not be treated by oral medicines only so usually, surgery is advised in anal fistula patients. But surgery is not the right choice for the reason of the recurrence of fistula after surgery and other complications like stool incontinence (inability to hold stool) etc. However, this problem can be completely treated without surgery by graded ksharsutra treatment. No hospitalization or bed rest is required in this treatment. You can continue your normal routine activities as usual during this treatment. Clinical trials conducted by the indian council of medical research (icmr) at aiims - new delhi & pgi - chandigarh have confirmed that ksharsutra treatment is more convenient and more effective than surgery in patients suffering from anal fistula. In this treatment graded ksharsutra - a specialized medicated thread is placed in the fistula tract after defining the fistula tract by careful manual probing or mri fistulogram. Medicine released from graded ksharsutra debrides the fistula tract and induces healing. This medicine works for 5-7 days so old ksharsutra needs to be replaced by a new one at a week or 10 days intervals. The number of graded ksharsutra changes required for complete healing of anal fistula depends on depth direction and branching pattern of the fistula tract.
