INTRODUCTION

Pain is the most common symptom that brings patients to see a physician and it is the basic and most challenging problem for surgeons from primitive era and is the very common post operative manifestation after any surgical procedure, no matter how good operation is performed, due to which patients are afraid to undergo surgery. Excessive pain will be unbearable and will lead to other effects like nausea, palpitation and increase or decrease of blood pressure. When post operative pain is inadequately treated the suffering of the patient increases the stress of the whole procedure and can delay recovery1.

Hence management of postoperative pain has been a global challenge since the inception of surgery with opiates especially, there are exaggerated fears regarding their potential for side effects and their addictions. In present modern era also a well established NSAID, Diclofenac sodium has various side effects like nausea/vomitting, ulceration, GI bleeding and adverse renal effects1.The lack of effective analgesics in Ayurvedic medicines is the main disadvantage for the down fall of Ayurvedic surgery, so there is constant quest for an ideal Ayurvedic analgesic therapy .i.e.vedanasthapana upaya.

6.1  NEED FOR STUDY:

In the field of Ayurvedic surgery, management of Anorectal disorders is gaining popularity and has been proved by various research studies. But Ayurvedic surgeons are facing the problem of post operative pain management. Advent of an Ayurvedic analgesic drug or procedure will be of a great sign of relief to Ayurvedic proctologists. So in the present study the patients who have undergone surgery for Arsha, one among Anorectal disorder will be subjected to some of vedanasthapana gana dravyas in the form of ghanavati in post operative period.
