Abstract

Shweta Pradar is one of the most common issues faced by women in their daily lives. A small amount of vaginal discharge is a natural process that helps maintain vaginal moisture and hygiene. However, when the discharge becomes excessive, foul-smelling, or is accompanied by itching, it can cause significant discomfort. Recurrent episodes are often difficult to manage with oral medications alone. In such cases, Sthanik Chikitsa and Ayurvedic medications have proven effective. These approaches not only treat the local pathology but also support overall health and wellness. This case report discusses a female patient who presented with complaints of constipation, lower back pain, burning micturition, thick white vaginal discharge, and burning sensation in the vaginal region. She was advised to undergo Sthanik Chikitsa. After obtaining informed consent, she was treated with Yoni Prakshalana with Triphala Kashaya and Yoni Pichu soaked in Guduchyadi Taila for seven days following the end of her menstrual cycle. This treatment was continued for three consecutive cycles. The patient reported noticeable improvement in her symptoms from the first cycle itself. This case emphasizes the significance of Sthanik Chikitsa in the management of Stri Roga (gynecological disorders) and highlights the potential role of traditional Ayurvedic therapies in complementing modern medical treatments.
