Abstract

The health of human reproductive organs is essential for a healthy life. Protrusion of pelvic organs into or out of the vaginal canal is termed as pelvic organ prolapse. Laxity of vaginal canal and uterine descent is one of the conditions commonly seen as a complication of prolonged labor or patients having history of first degree uterine prolapse. According to WHO estimation, global prevalence of uterine prolapse is 2-20 percent. Prasramsini is one among the twenty yonivyapad which was first mentioned by AcharyaSushrut and placed under Pittajayonivyapad. It is a condition in which there is displacement of yoni from its place occurs along with vaginal discharge and difficulty in labor due to abnormality of birth passage. The descent of an organ is called sramsana and condition is called prasramsiniwhich may be correlated with first and second degree uterine prolapse. As no yonivyapad can occur without the involvement of vatadosha, so prasramsini can be considered as vataanubandhipittajayonivyapad. Hence the drug selected for the study is vatapittahara and balya. Therefore an attempt was made to treat Prasramsini by Changeryadighrta for abhyanga, yoniswedana with ksheera followed by yonipichu with mushikataila.
