One is to maintain the positive Health and second is to eradicate the disease. Obstetrics is the branch of medicine that has to do with the care of the pregnant women during pregnancy, parturition and the puerperium. Pregnancy is one of the most unique, exciting and joyous time in a woman’s life. After completing entire nine months of gestation period baby is delivered. Due to straining during labour in the absence of labour pains, the Vayu obstructed by fetus, withholding Kapha and getting mixed with Rakta produces Karnika in Yoni, which obstructs the passage of Raja. Due to presence of Karnika (a small muscular ball), this condition is termed as Karnini Yonivyapad by Acharya Charaka (Cha. Chikitsa 30/7-8). Common symptoms are vaginal discharge with other symptoms like weakness, pain in back and calves, loss of vital fluids, the pruritus on and around the vulva, thighs and pelvic joints. It can be treated by the combined effect of oral medication and local therapy. Use of Shodhan Varti, tampons, and Uttarabasti is the main treatment. Depending on the signs and symptoms it can be correlated with Cervical Erosion. ER -
