Abstract
Garbhashaya Greevamukhagata Vrana (cervical erosion) is a frequently encountered gynecological condition, often presenting with symptoms such as vaginal white discharge, dyspareunia, lower backache, and persistent local discomfort. The condition may significantly affect a woman’s quality of life, especially when left unaddressed or inadequately managed. In the pursuit of safer and more holistic treatment alternatives, this pilot study was undertaken to explore the efficacy of Apamargakshara Pratisarana, a classical Ayurvedic para-surgical intervention, in the management of cervical erosion. Ten patients diagnosed with this condition were enrolled and underwent Kshara Pratisarana in three applications administered on alternate days i.e. 7th, 9th & 11th day of the menstrual cycle. Clinical assessment was carried out using both subjective complaints and objective findings before the intervention, following each application. Preliminary observations from this suggest favourable outcomes in terms of symptomatic relief and visible signs of local tissue healing, indicating the potential of this traditional approach for further clinical exploration.
