Kshar Sutra is a type of thread made from Ayurvedic herbs used to treat anal diseases such as hemorrhoids and fistula. Many parts of the body were challenging to operate on until a few years ago, but with the advent of anesthesia, surgery on any part of the body has become much easier. In Ayurveda, treatment for hemorrhoids is done with thread rather than surgical instruments. The unique aspect of the thread is that it has the capacity to cut and remove body parts without surgical instruments, just like a surgical procedure.
Kshar Sutra is an Ayurvedic surgical procedure used to treat hemorrhoids. Patients suffering from hemorrhoids do not need to take long leaves from work to undergo Kshar Sutra treatment because this procedure does not create large wounds and does not involve blood loss.
Patients with hemorrhoids develop lumps around the anus. During treatment, these lumps are tightly bound with Kshar Sutra, which causes them to dry up and disappear after some time. This process can be performed in two ways. If the lumps are large, the surgeon ties Kshar Sutra around external hemorrhoids and internal hemorrhoids. However, if the lumps are small or located internally, Kshar Sutra is threaded through a semicircular needle and tightly bound around the root of the lump.
Kshar Sutra is an easy, safe, and minimally invasive surgical procedure. During this treatment process, patients do not need to be hospitalized, allowing them to resume their daily routines comfortably. Due to minimal damage to the tissues and muscles near the anus during Kshar Sutra treatment, the risk of issues like inability to pass stool and anal fistula is eliminated.
