The effect of Yasthimadhu Ghrita Pichu in Cervical Erosion - A Case Study

Abstract

Cervical erosion is a physiological state after menarche; the columnar epithelium within the endocervical canal grows and everts exposing the glandular epithelium on the ecto-cervix. The exposed glandular epithelium is gradually replaced by squamous epithelium. Mostly occurs during child bearing age with the symptoms like vaginal discharge, itching, pelvic pain, post coital bleeding dyspareunia. If it is not treated properly leads to cervical cancer. This case study is of a female patient who complained of cervical erosion which was treated with Ayurvedic Stanika Chikitsa - Yonidhavana with Nimba Patra Prakshalana and Yastimadhu Ghrita  Pichu for 7 days. In the present study, Pichu with Yashtimadhu Ghrita is proved to give good results in cervical erosion. Hence the clinical trial can be done in large number of patients to see further results.
