Abstract

A 34-year-old male patient came to the OPD complaining of hard stool, burning pain in the ano (during and after defecation), and per rectal bleeding during defecation form the previous month. A longitudinal tear at the anal canal midline posterior was seen during the clinical examination. This trauma was brought to anal canal by passages of hard stool a month ago. Parikartika, or Acute fissure in ano, the term is used to describe this condition. Local application of Haridra Sphatik Ral ointment was used in this case. Haridra being anti inflammatory, Sphatik having astringent action and Ral comprises healing properties hence it is used for this case. Ointment form is chosen because of its easy application on the fissure. A noticeable symptomatic relief after 15 days of treatment was seen.

Keywords: Parikartika, Haridra Sphatik Ral Ointment.
