Abstract

Background: In the present modern era, the prevalence of ano-rectal diseases is increasing with high speed. As the life of the humans are more sedentary and unhealthy. People are busy in earning wealth all are less conscious about their health. This has led to increase in the prevalence of anal fissure disease. Male and females both are equally affected with this disease. Children of every age group also suffer from this disease. The most important cause behind this condition is constipation. The prevalence of constipation is present in every age group either it is due to sedentary lifestyle, occupation, bad habits or negligence towards health issues related with GIT. Many treatment modalities are present to treat anal fissure but removing the cause of the disease is the main priority. In that case to cure the cause completely and avoid the recurrence Moolbandh Asana can be practiced. This Asana has great effects on GIT and nervous system. In Ayurveda anal fissure can be correlated with Parikartika.
