ABSTRACT

A 36 year old female patient attended the Stri rog OPD of RARIMCH Nagpur with the complaints of excessive irritant whitish discharge per vaginum with low backache and pelvic pain since last 2 years. She took treatment for this at various hospitals but didn’t get complete relief and was advised hysterectomy. Since she was not willing for hysterectomy she opted for ayurvedic treatment. Methods: Pratisaraniya kshara karma with apamarga kshara followed by panchavalkala kwath yoni prakshalana for vrana shodhana was done and this was followed by application of jatyadi taila picchu to promote healing process of vrana. Results: significant results were found as per reduction in white discharge and pelvic pain. Patient didn’t complain of any significant discharge post kshara karma. Conclusion: The combined therapy proved to be quite effective in managing cervical erosion and avoided unnecessary hysterectomy.
