Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a mixed infection caused by both aerobic and anaerobic bacterial flora. The development and progression of the gangrene is often fulminating and can rapidly cause multiple organ failure and death. Because of potential complications, it is important to diagnose the disease process as early as possible Although antibiotics and aggressive debridement have been broadly accepted as the standard treatment, the death rate remains high. Post-operative management remains another major concern as it takes a lot of duration for complete healing. This paper highlights the role of Ayurvedic protocol in a complicated case whereas complete results were achieved in a less time span.
