Dr. Ambika Sakole*, Dr. Tejpal Chandake

Abstract

Abnormal vaginal discharge is a common gynecological complaint that affects the physical, psychological, and sexual well-being of women. In Ayurveda, conditions presenting with excessive white vaginal discharge can be correlated with Kaphaja Yonivyapad and Shwetapradara. This case report presents a 32-year-old female with recurrent white vaginal discharge associated with dyspareunia and lower abdominal pain, clinically diagnosed as Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). The patient was treated with Yonidhavana using Panchavalkala Kwatha, Yonipichu with Bala Taila, and internal medications including Chandraprabha Vati, Triphala Guggulu, Gandhak Rasayana, and Pushyanuga Churna. Significant improvement was observed in vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, and dyspareunia without recurrence during followup. The case highlights the potential of Ayurvedic management in addressing both the symptoms and underlying pathology of PID-like conditions.
