🔍 What is Fissure-in-Ano?
A fissure-in-ano is a small tear or crack in the lining of the anal canal, usually caused by constipation, straining, or passing hard stools. It leads to:
Severe pain during and after defecation
Bleeding (fresh red blood)
Burning and itching
Fear of passing stools
🪔 Ayurvedic Understanding: Gud Parikartika
In Ayurveda, fissure-in-ano is referred to as “Gud Parikartika”, described in texts like Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita.
✅ Dosha Involvement:
Vata Dosha – causes dryness, tearing, sharp pain.
Pitta Dosha – responsible for burning sensation and inflammation.
