sanskrit

The general treatment involves the use of eleven kinds of remedial measures, starting with Apatarpana and including purgatives. When a fistulous ulcer is still in the insuppurated stage, the patient should be prepared by placing him on a bed, applying medicated oil, and immersing him in warm water, similar to the treatment for hemorrhoids. After carefully examining the Bhagandara, whether ancient or modern, the surgeon should raise the Eshani (indicator) to identify the fistula's opening, and then use a surgical instrument to make an incision. In cases where the mouth of the fistula is directed inward, the instrument should be properly placed to address the flow of pus. The surgery may involve cauterization with fire or an alkali; this is a general approach applicable to all types of this condition.
