ABSTRACT

Gynecological disorders are those disorders that affect the female reproductive system, especially the genital tract. Pathological white vaginal discharges along with the other symptoms like the feeling of weakness, backache, loss of vital fluids, the pruritus on and around the vulva and thigh, is very common among woman, especially of rural areas. This condition is stated as cervical erosion. Cervical erosion, a benign lesion is sometimes much troublesome due to its associated vaginal discharge and nature of recurrence that it affects the women’s physical & psychological health. Different mode of medical & surgical interventions are adopted in modern science like (Electrical) Diathermy cauterization, cryo surgery, laser therapy, conization operation etc. but they are unsatisfactory as the relief is temporary and complications may lead to secondary haemorrhage and cervical stenosis. In Ayurvedic science, cervical erosion is termed as “Karnika” in yoni or cervix is known as Karnini yonivyapad. An attempt has been made through the conservative line of treatment told in Ayurvedic classic to treat karnini yonivyapad by kshara karma with Apamarga Kshara which has been explained by Acharya Sushruta in the treatment of Vrana and yoni pichu with Jatyadi Taila explained in Bhava Prakasha Madhayama Khanda.
