Fissure treatment in Bangalore

A fissure, or anal fissure, is a small tear or crack in the lining of the anus that causes pain and bleeding during bowel movements. In Ayurveda, this condition is referred to as "Parikartika," and it is commonly caused by constipation, hard stools, or excessive straining during bowel movements. Fissures can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) if not properly managed.
