Ksharasutra Treatment
Ksharasutra treatment is a minimally invasive Ayurvedic surgical procedure commonly used for the management of anorectal conditions such as fistula-in-ano, piles, and chronic fissures. It involves the use of a medicated thread that helps in gradual healing while preserving surrounding tissues.
