Questions patients actually ask

The consultation is ₹700. It includes examination by Dr. Sumukhi Ravi, a proctological examination where relevant, a written treatment plan, and a personalised pathya diet chart. Procedure costs are quoted separately and always before treatment begins.

No. Swasthi Ayurveda is not empanelled with any insurer, so treatment is self-paid. In exchange we publish our prices openly — the consultation fee and treatment starting costs are on the pricing page rather than quoted only after you arrive.

Yes. The clinic is led by Dr. Sumukhi Ravi, a female Ayurvedic surgeon. All examination and treatment of female patients is carried out by her, with a female attendant present.

Kannada, Hindi and English. You can write to us on WhatsApp in Kannada and we will reply in Kannada.

No, the clinic is closed on Sundays. WhatsApp messages are answered seven days a week, so you can send your request on a Sunday and we will confirm a slot for the coming week.

No. Swasthi Ayurveda is a day-care facility. Procedures are performed under local or spinal anaesthesia and you go home the same day.

Procedures are performed under anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during them. Discomfort afterwards is usual and is managed with medication and sitz baths. Most patients report considerably less pain than they expected, and less than after conventional excision surgery.

After Kshara Karma most patients return to desk work within one to two days. During Kshara Sutra treatment most patients work throughout, attending a short weekly appointment for the thread change.

Early first-degree piles and fresh fissures often settle with diet correction and oral medication. Established prolapsing piles, chronic fissures and fistula tracts do not close on medication alone and need a procedure. You will be told honestly which category you are in at the first visit.

Yes. The clinic also provides Panchakarma, Agnikarma and Viddhagnikarma for musculoskeletal pain, leech therapy and Raktamokshana, varicose vein management, diabetic and non-healing wound care, and Swarna Bindu Prashana for children.

The method exists specifically to reduce that risk. Because the thread divides tissue gradually while healing follows immediately behind it, the sphincter is never severed in a single cut. This is why it is preferred for high and complex tracts.

If examination suggests something outside our scope — suspected malignancy, inflammatory bowel disease needing gastroenterology, advanced vascular disease, or a complication requiring a hospital — you will be referred. Treating something we should not is a worse outcome than losing a patient.

Only for non-intimate wound sites such as diabetic and varicose ulcers, and only with written patient consent. Photographs of ano-rectal conditions are never published on this website. They can be shown during your consultation if you wish to see them.
