Abstract
In Ayurveda, Maharshi Sushruta has describe the term Ashta Mahagada i,e there is a group of 8 diseases which is difficult to cure. Bhagandara is included in Ashta Mahagada by Maharshi Sushruta. Due to the vitiation of doshas, there is formation of Pidaka or Abscess in the perianal region which is the premonitory condition and if the Pidaka or Abscess left untreated results in formation of Bhagandara or Fistula-in-Ano. An Anal Fistula is a common benign anorectal disease which can be of simple or complex type which can be treated without affecting the normal functioning of the Anal sphincters.
