Is Kshar Sutra Treatment Painful? Here’s the Honest Answer

If you are suffering from piles (hemorrhoids), fistula, or fissure, one of the first questions that comes to mind is:

👉 “Will the treatment be painful?”

Many patients feel worried when they hear about Kshar Sutra treatment. This blog explains in simple words how painful it actually is, what patients usually experience, and whether you should be scared of it or not.

What Is Kshar Sutra Treatment?

Kshar Sutra is a well-established Ayurvedic treatment used for conditions like:

• Piles

• Fistula-in-ano

• Anal fissure

In this method, a medicated herbal thread is used on the affected area. The thread works slowly and safely to remove unhealthy tissue while helping the wound heal naturally.

Unlike major surgery, this treatment is minimally invasive and usually done on an OPD basis, without long hospital stays.
