Abstract

Bhagadara, which can be triggered by fistula in ano, is characterized as a suppurative secondary ulcerative manifestation to an eruption that typically affects the Bhaga (Ano rectal, pelvic rectal, or peri anal region). It is mentioned in Susrutha Samhitha by Asta Mahagadha. Bhagandara's primary nidana is infectious in character, exhibiting symptoms such as discomfort, pus discharge, itching, and tenderness in the perianal area. In today's lifestyle, bhagandara is a frequent condition that is very difficult to cure due to its high recurrence rate and delayed wound healing. In Ayurveda, the kshara sutra is the fundamental principle, while fistulectomy is the current cure. This clinical investigation examines the effectiveness of kshara sutra made with rajani lepa, namely suhi kshera and Haridra Curna in the management of Bagandara. Kshara sutra prepared with rajini lepa is safe and effective treatment option for bagandara, offering a promising alternative to conventional surgical methods.

Keywords: Bagandara, Fistula-in-ano, Rajini lepa kshara sutra.
