Abstract:

Introduction: Vulvitis is common among females of all age groups but remain neglected due to unawareness and private nature of pathology. The cardinal features include itching vulva, vaginal discharges, pain, renal problems and patches on vulvar region. In Ayurveda the Acharna and Vipluta yonivyapad has close relation with vulvitis. In present study vulvitis patients were treated by Triphala kwath sitz bath and lotion made of Gomutra, Tankan and Gandhak (GTG Lotion). Aims and objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Triphala kwath sitz bath and GTG lotion as an effective and palatable management of vulvitis. Materials and Method: 10 patients from outdoor department of Stree prasuti were taken for study. Therapy includes Triphala kwath sitz bath for 10 minutes and GTG lotion application on vulva and medial aspect of thighs for 10 minutes once in a day. The two sittings of therapy each for 15 days at the interval of 15 days was applied for continue 2 months.  Assessment of results was done by special grading system on subjective and objective parameter. Results: The therapy shows statistically highly significant results i.e. P>.0001 in all features of vulvitis. Discussion & Conclusion: The root cause of Acharna and Vipluta yonivyapad is unhygiene, dosha dusti and krimi utpatti.  Triphala kwath and contents of GTG lotion provide promising results in vulvitis due Vatakaphaghan and krimihar i.e anti microbial properties.
