ABSTRACT

The most prevalent type of anorectal abscess is perianal abscess. These abscesses can be extremely painful for sufferers. They are seen near the anal margin and, if left untreated, can spread into the ischioanal or intersphincteric spaces, which are connected to the perianal space. If left untreated, they can also induce systemic illness. Anal gland infection is the most common cause of anorectal abscess development. They are situated between the internal sphincter and the rectum's longitudinal muscle. According to Ayurvedic classics, the illness was diagnosed as guda vidradi (perianal abscess expanded upto the base of the scrotum). Perianal abscess is a surgical emergency procedure, and Bhedana karma is regarded main treatment. The patient was entirely treated with only a few follow-ups. Wounds healed with little scarring after surgery. Adoption of the treatment resulted in satisfactory management of ischiorectal abscess. After 25 days, the patient was completely fine with a healed wound after undergoing incision and drainage with surgical debridement.
