Karnini yoni vyapada (Cervical erosion) is one of the most Commonest Gynaecological condition seen in OPDs. About 50% of women among her reproductive age group are suffering from this problem. Cervical erosion is a condition where the squamous epithelium of ectocervix is replaced by columnar epithelium of endocervix. Certain factors like poor hygiene, Abnormal diet and habits, pregnancy, premature straining during labor, use of contraceptives pills, produce pathological changes in cervix. Cardinal symptoms of this disease is white discharge p/v, while associated symptoms are backache, lower pelvic pain, infertility etc. In Ayurvedic classical texts almost all the Gynaecological disorders comes under the term 'Yonivyapada'. It is best correlated with karnini yoni vyapada due to similarties in etiopathogensis, clinical features and complications. It is a benign lesion but if left untreated cause infertility and sometimes may predispose Malignancy. In cervical erosion the principle of treatment is to destruct the overgrown columnar epithelium and after the destruction, normal squamous epithelium grows which heals erosion. Keeping this point in view, the present clinical trial is taken up with the aim of clinical evaluation of efficacy of panchvalkala kwatha yoni prkshalna in the management of Karnini yonivyapad (cervical erosion) and results was assessed on the basis of the re-epithelization of erosion and improvement in the symptoms.
