About the Book

This comprehensive monograph by Dr. M. Bhaskar Rao offers an in-depth study of Arsas (Piles/Haemorrhoids) through the lens of Ayurveda, complemented by contemporary scientific insights. It presents a unique integration of classical Ayurvedic knowledge and modern proctological advancements, making it a valuable resource for practitioners, students, and researchers of both systems of medicine.

The book is meticulously divided into chapters covering the historical background, anatomy of the anal canal, etiopathogenesis, types, clinical features, diagnostic procedures, and management techniques of Arsas. It emphasizes not only medical and surgical aspects but also para-surgical methods like Ksarakarma, Agnikarma, and Raktamokshana, following the traditional Cikitsa Chatushpada approach as laid down by Sushruta.

Highlights include:

• Therapeutic integration of Ayurvedic and modern treatments such as Infrared Coagulation, Rubber Band Ligation, Cryosurgery, and Injection Therapy.

• Exploration of Ksara injection therapy innovated by the author, emphasizing its potential for development and standardization in modern pharmaceuticals.

• Detailed descriptions of Ayurvedic concepts like sthula, sukshma, karana levels of pathology and their treatment pathways.

• Color photo guide providing visual references for diagnosis and case study evaluation.

• A thorough Drug Review, glossary of Ayurvedic terminologies, recent research updates, and an index for clinical convenience.

The book also provides a broader understanding of Proctology’s role in contemporary medicine, outlining modern diagnostic and therapeutic tools and how they can be enhanced through Ayurvedic principles. With over a decade of clinical and academic experience compiled into this work, Dr. Bhaskar Rao presents a practical, research-backed, and integrative roadmap for treating one of the most common yet often misunderstood anorectal conditions.

Whether you're an Ayurvedic practitioner, a modern surgeon, or a student of alternative medicine, this book serves as an essential guide to understanding and managing Arsas with scientific depth and holistic precision.
