Abstract

Parikartika is a very painful and one of the commonest of anorectal diseases. Parikartika though a common disease still has slipped from the due attention of the acharyas. In our classics it is not mentioned as a separate disease. It is mentioned in the context of complications of other diseases or procedures. The parallel word of parikartika as per modern terminology is fissure-in-ano. It may also originate due to sedentary life style, faulty dietery habits, improper work schedule and so on. In here the aim is to give a bird‟s eye view on parikartika describing it‟s nidanpanchak.

Keywords: Parikartika, Fissure-In-Ano, Nidaan panchak.
