ABSTRACT

Cervical erosion is a common gynaecological condition which is seen in the reproductive period of women. In this condition the squamous epithelium of ectocervix is replaced by columnar epithelium which is continuous with endocervix. It may be congenital or acquired. Prevalence of cervical erosion is more than 50% of all the gynaecological condition. This can be considered as garbhashayagreevagatavrana based on the references from Ayurvedic classics. The treatment principle which is adopted here is similar to that of vranaropana procedures. Here there is involvement of kaphapradhanavata& pitta dosha.Thus local application of kshara over the vrana helps in ropana of the vrana. The selected aushadhi is yavakshara which is mainly kapha&vatahara& it is also pittahara due to madhura rasa and sheetaveerya. Its properties are lekhana which proves effective in treating cervical erosion.
