AYURVEDIC ASPECT OF CERVICITIS

Cervicitis is not said to be a disease in Ayurveda, it is a contagious disease similar to acharana and upapluta. Cervicitis is considered an Agantuja Vyadhi which is caused due to infections.

1. Upapluta

It is one among 20 gynaecological disorders which is mainly seen due to aggravation of kapha dosha which is vitiated with vata dosha which contaminates the uterus and produces abnormalities. This condition includes pain in the genital area with mucus and excessive vaginal discharge.

2. Acharana

It is one among 20 gynaecological disorders which is mainly seen due to improper maintenance of the genital health of the women. It is an infectious condition which leads to vaginal itching and excessive discharge from the vagina.

NIDANA (CAUSES) OF CERVICITIS

  1. Factors that lead to kapha and rakta vitiation
  2. Unprotected sex
  3. Krimi (parasite) infestation

SAMPRAPTI (PATHOPHYSIOLOGY) OF CERVICITIS

It is considered an Agantuja Vyadhi. With nidan, the microorganisms enter the body and vitiate various dosha and further vitiate rakta or mamsa dhatu which produces various symptoms.

LAKSHANA (SYMPTOMS) OF CERVICITIS

  1. Yoni srava (vaginal discharge)
  2. Atiartava (bleeding between periods)
  3. Kukshi shula (lower abdominal pain)
  4. Ksheena (weakness)

CHIKITSA (TREATMENT) OF CERVICITIS

There are some local procedures which are used in the treatment of cervicitis

  1. Yonidhoopana- It is the fumigation of the outer part of the vulval regions
  2. Yoniprakshalana– Washing the vulvar area and vagina with herbal decoctions
  3. Yoni Pichu- Use of Tampons with medicated ghee/oils preparation
