An Approach to Manage Shweta Pradar – A Case Study

Abstract

Acharya Manu has said that happiness of human needs proper care and respect  of woman. So, to keep our society happy and healthy, proper care of woman is  the most important thing. Shweta Pradar is one of the most common problems  faced by woman in her day-to-day life. Slight discharges through vagina occur  physiologically to keep the vagina moist but if discharges increase in amount or  it comes with foul smell or with itching, it causes discomfort to the patient.  Medications which are being used to treat Leucorrhea are unable in controlling  its reoccurrence. Ayurvedic medications and localized procedures (Sthanik  Chikitsa) have been proved like a boon in this field. Here, a case report of a  female patient having complaints of thick white discharge P/V, burning in  vaginal area, burning micturition, low back ache and constipation has been  presented. She was advised for sthanik chikitsa. After taking patient’s consent,  Yoni Prakshalana (vaginal wash) with Udumbaradi Kashaya and Yoni Pichu (vaginal tampon) with Udumbaradi Taila was done for 7 days after the cessation  of menstrual flow. The procedure was done for the 3 consecutive cycles & the  patient started feeling relief in symptoms from the very first cycle. Thus, through  this study, the efforts have been done to through light on the importance of  shtanik chiktsa in the field of Stri Roga (gynecological disorders).
