Thatâs a very good and important question â letâs go step-by-step so you understand clearly.

### 𩺠Your current situation
From what you said:
* Youâre **a teenager**,
* You **had fissure before**,
* Now thereâs **infection and a sentinel tag**,
* The doctor advised a **minor operation â Ksharsutra hybrid**.
---
### ð Understanding what this means
A **sentinel tag** (small skin flap near the anus) is a **healed or chronic fissure sign**.
If thereâs **infection, persistent pain, or non-healing**, it means the fissure tract has become **chronic** or partially **infected** â sometimes forming a **small sinus** or **fistulous opening**.
Thatâs when Ayurvedic surgeons suggest a **Ksharsutra hybrid procedure** (combination of Ayurvedic thread treatment + modern minor surgery).
---
### âï¸ Is surgery always required?
Not always. It depends on these factors:
| Condition | Treatment Approach |
| --------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Fresh fissure, no pus/infection, mild tag** | Heals with medicines, Sitz bath, diet correction |
| **Chronic fissure (non-healing for months)** | Sometimes needs small procedure or tag removal |
| **Fissure with pus/infection or sinus** | Ksharsutra or hybrid method is safest and most effective |
| **Only skin tag, no pain/infection** | Can be left alone or removed later if cosmetic issue |
---
### ð¿ Ksharsutra Hybrid â What it means
This is a **minor daycare procedure**:
* Done under local anesthesia
* No hospitalization usually
* Uses medicated herbal thread (Ksharsutra) to **drain infection and promote healing**
* Safer than cutting surgery; recovery is faster
* Very effective for **infected fissure or small fistula**
---
### ð¡ In teenage cases
Doctors usually **avoid major surgery** unless absolutely necessary.
If your infection is not deep or spreading, your doctor might just:
* Clean the infected area,
* Remove the tag if itâs causing irritation,
* Insert Ksharsutra briefly to heal completely.
So yes â in **some teenage cases**, this *minor Ksharsutra hybrid* is required, but itâs **not a major operation** and **helps prevent recurrence**.

What you can do now
1. **Take second opinion** â preferably from an Ayurvedic Shalya (surgery) specialist in a government Ayurveda hospital.
2. **Follow stool-softening diet:**
* Warm water frequently
* Ghee with food
* Cooked vegetables, papaya, banana, and Isabgol husk at night
* Avoid spicy, dry, and fast food
3. **Warm Sitz bath** twice daily (with turmeric + rock salt).
4. **Donât delay treatment** if infection is spreading or pus is forming â early minor procedure is far better than waiting for complications.

If you tell me exactly what your doctor found (for example: âthere is pus discharge / swelling / pain / skin flap onlyâ), I can tell you more clearly whether you can avoid the procedure or not.
