Abstract

Women are the pioneers of any Nation; they comprise half of the world’s population. They are the key to sustainable development, and the quality of life in families depends on them. Any disorder that hampers women’s general, mental, and reproductive health should be considered and require medical attention. Ayurvedic texts discuss the subject of women’s reproductive organ diseases under the subject of Yonivyapads. All Ayurvedic texts have described twenty Yonivyapads covering almost all gynaecological disorders. Shleshmala Yonivyapad is one of them, occurring due to vitiated Kapha Dosh having signs and symptoms like abnormal vaginal discharge, itching, coldness, and pain. Vulvovaginitis is the inflammation of the vulva and vagina due to several conditions like various infections, improper hygiene and dietary habits, etc. It is a frequently observed condition in gynaecological practice in today’s era. Its symptoms are more or less similar to that of Shleshmala Yonivyapad. Hence, an effort has been made to gather information available in texts on this disease in both aspects i.e. Ayurveda and modern, for better understanding and curing the patients.
