Abstract

The illness Parikartika is classified as gudaja vikara in Ayurvedic literature. Guda experiences a cutting kind of pain in Parikartika. Several authors attribute parikartika to a number of factors, including vamana-virechan vyapad, basti vyapad, atisar, arsha, grahani, udavarta, and others. In various ayurvedic books, parikartika is mentioned in passing rather than as a distinct illness entity. A person's lifestyle, environment, and diet all affect his or her health. Nowadays, a lot of people worldwide suffer from lifestyle disorders like obesity, hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. Anorectal disorders, such as haemorrhoids and anorectal fissures, may be attributed to poor dietary choices and an unsuitable lifestyle. One prevalent anorectal condition is parikartika. Parikartika is generally compared to the ano fissure. It is a really painful ailment. Parikartika is not listed in the Ayurvedic Samhita as a distinct disease entity, but rather as a side effect of several Panchkarma treatments like vaman, virechana, and basti, as well as a side effect of some illnesses like Arsh Atisar and Grahani. According to contemporary science, parikartika and fissure-in ano, in which a patient experiences tearing or cutting pain in the anus, may be connected. A linear ulcer in the anal canal, primarily located in the midline posteriorly, is referred to as a fissurein- ano. When the anal edges are separated, the bottom end of the fissure is visible.1 Fissure-inano is linked to burning during or after defecation, per-rectal haemorrhage, constipation, and pain that lasts for hours.
