Dr. Rafiq* and Dr. Ankit Gupta

ABSTRACT

In Ayurvedic Samhitas Parikartika is described in different places as complication of Virechana vyapad, Basti vyapad, Garbhini vyapad. This is most common and painful condition among ano-rectal diseases and can be corelated with fissure in ano. It is commonly seen in young aged peoples and pregnant women. In modern science there are various medical and surgical procedures for its management which are very expensive and all these having its own complications. It may also originate due to sedentary life style, faulty dietery habits, improper work schedule and In here the aim is to give a bird‟s eye view on parikartika. A disorder known as parikartika causes the patient to feel as though scissors are being used to cut around the Guda (Anus). Its origins are in the Sanskrit words "Parikŗ," which means "all around," and "Kartanam," which refers to severe pain from cutting around the anus. Because Guda is the actual location of Vata, particularly ApanaVayu, Vata is the dominant or primary dosha in Parikartika. A painful linear ulcer in the lower third of the anal canal's long axis is known as a fissure-in-ano. An anal fissure is a clinical manifestation of superficial ulceration of the squamous mucosa of the lower half of the anal canal. This type of ulcer is linear and typically seen in the posterior commissure of the anal canal.
