ABSTRACT

Women are considered as a supreme creature of God undergoes through a variety of physiological changes during pregnancy. Upapluta yonivyapad is described in charak samhita, which occurs in pregnancy. On the basis of symptoms like white discharge, itching vulva etc. Upapluta yonivyapad can be compared to vulvovaginitis during pregnancy. In the present study total 30 patients in the age group of 19-40 years suffering from vulvovaginitis during pregnancy were registered. The selected patients were randomly allotted in to two Groups. Panchvalkladi ointment (5gm twice a day for 14 days) was selected as a Trial Group and Clingen (Clotrimazole-100 mg and Clindamycin100 mg once a day for 14 days) vaginal suppository was selected as a Control Group for local application (in vagina). Highly significant results were seen in symptoms in both the Groups and on comparing the results in the two Groups we found that the results were almost equivalent. In Group A, moderate improvement was observed in 33.33% of the patients; in Group B, mild improvement was observed in 33.33% of patients.
