Abstract

Background: Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is an infective condition of genital tract with symptoms like lower abdominal pain and tenderness, abnormal vaginal discharge, chills, and fever. Various yonivyapaths (Diseases of the female reproductive system), presenting the above said symptoms like adhodara shoola (Lower abdominal pain), shoola in maithuna (dyspareunia), jwara (fever) and yonisrava (discharge per vagina) include vatala (endometriosis), paripluta (pelvic inflammatory disease), mahayoni (genital organ prolapse) and so on. Aims and objectives: To evaluate the effect of an shivagutika in PID subjects with an intention to maximize its clinical effectiveness and hasten its integration into wider clinical practice. Materials and methods: Shivagutika was administered twice daily with honey after food intake for 60 days. The signs and symptoms of PID were graded before and during the course of treatment. In most of the cases, there was a progressive reduction in the symptoms with time, indicating the efficacy of the formulation in PID. Conclusion: Shiva gutika efficiently decreases the symptoms of PID, clinically controls infection and can be recommended in the management of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.
