ABSTRACT

In Ayurvedic classics all gynecological conditions are described under the heading of Yonivyapada & is related to travarta yoni. Yoniroga do not occur without vitiation of apan vayu, thus first of all vata should be normalized then treatment of other doshas should be done. Acharya sushruta has described 60 upakrama for the management of wound [Sthanik Chikitsa] in diff ways like pichu, dhawan, dhupan, uttarbasti etc. these are quite popular due to its excellent results, have no side effects & play an important role in the disorders of Tryavarta yoni also. The reason behind for chosen the vaginal route because of the rugae of the vaginal epithelium create a involuted surface & results in large surface area provide, this large surface area allows the trans epithelium absorption of medications via the vaginal route & posterior fornix have rich blood supply so actively absorption of drug. The use of absolute sthanik chikitsa [Local therapy] skillfully in the management of streeroga would surely prove to be boon to streeroga.
