Efficacy of Chandan Bala Lakshadi Tail Matra Basti as Adjuvant Therapy in the Anorectal Ailments: A Case Series

Abstract

Ayurveda mentions several anorectal ailments, among which are Bhagandara (Anal Fistula), Guda vidhradhi (Rectal Abscess), Parikartika (Anal Fissure), and Arsha (Haemorrhoid), which are the most common. These illnesses may have several underlying causes and may result in a wide variety of symptoms. Present case series discusses a total of five instances in which majority of the patients were between the ages of 20 and 80 years. Pain and burning sensations during and after defecation, as well as perineal haemorrhage and hard stools, were prevalent complaints among these patients. Through local and physical examination, three anorectal ailments were detected: Arsha (internal external haemorrhoids), Bhagandara (anal fissure), and Parikartika (fissure in ano). Ultimately, anorectal procedures were carried, such as haemorrhoidectomy and Lord’s anal dilatation with Kshara Sutra ligation. Anorectal concerns might impact a person’s quality of life as they are unsettling, painful, and occasionally even life-altering. In the early stages, current therapy includes the use of soothing creams, gels, oral analgesics, and stool softeners, as well as surgical interventions such as sphincterotomy, fissurectomy, and Lord’s dilatation. In anorectal conditions like Parikartika (anorectal fissure), Bhagandara (anorectal fistula), and Arsha (haemorrhoids), a more effective alternative treatment must be developed. Chandan bala Lakshadi Tail Matra Basti is beneficial in reducing irritation, spasm, and the perception of pain as well as bleeding per rectum and anal inflammation.
