Comparative study between Patrangasava and Pradararipu Rasa in the treatment of Leucorrhoea

Abstract

Leucorrhoea is a common and significant issue that affects women, particularly during their reproductive years, often experiencing it at least once. It manifests as a discharge of white fluid from the vagina. In this study, we evaluated the comparative efficacy of Patrangasava and Pradararipu Rasa in treating Leucorrhoea. Sixty patients with clinical symptoms including white vaginal discharge, vulva itching, vaginal burning pain, low back pain, and general weakness were selected and divided into two equal groups: Group A and Group B. Group A received treatment with Patrangasava for 3 months, while Group B received treatment with Pradararipu Rasa for the same duration. This prospective, comparative, observational study aimed to assess the effectiveness of these treatments in both groups. The study observed a significant reduction in mean scores of clinical symptoms, particularly white vaginal discharge, in both groups. Overall compliance with the treatment was good in both groups, with a highly significant p-value of < 0.001.
