Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions are treated under Shalya Tantra at Bharati Ayurved Hospital?
We manage piles, fistula-in-ano, pilonidal sinus, fissure, and other minor surgical conditions using both Ayurvedic and modern approaches.
What is Ksharsutra therapy?

It is an Ayurvedic para-surgical method where a medicated alkaline-coated thread is placed in the tract. It helps cut, drain, and heal simultaneously, with very low recurrence rates.

How is laser treatment different from Ksharsutra?
Laser is a modern, minimally invasive procedure that shrinks or removes hemorrhoidal tissue with less pain and quicker recovery. Ksharsutra is more gradual, natural, and cost-effective.
Which treatment should I choose – Ksharsutra or Laser?
The choice depends on the grade and severity of the condition. Our doctors guide you after a complete evaluation.
Are these procedures painful?
Both methods involve minimal pain. Ksharsutra requires dressing changes but is well tolerated. Laser ensures faster relief with minimal discomfort.
How long is the recovery period?
Most patients resume routine activities within a few days. Complete healing depends on the type of procedure and condition.
Do I need hospitalization?
Many cases are managed as day-care procedures. Some may need short hospital stays for observation.
Can these conditions recur after treatment?
With proper follow-up, diet, and lifestyle care, recurrence is rare. We emphasize preventive guidance to maintain long-term relief.
Do you combine Ayurvedic medicines with surgery?
Yes. Ayurvedic formulations support healing, reduce inflammation, improve digestion, and help prevent recurrence.
