Study Overview
Brief Summary
In this study I would like to treat the condition of cervical erosion which I correlate with the Ayurvedic diagnosis of Karnini Yonivyapada Cervical erosion is described as the replacement of the squamous epithelium of the ectocervix by the columnar epithelium of the endocervical canal According to Ayurvedic view the disease is attributed to vitiation of Vata and Kapha with involvement of Rakta dhatu the treatment objective is therefore to pacify these doshas and purify the Rakta The study design is open label and randomised comparing two groups one treated by thermal cauterisation via Agnikarma using a Panchdhatu Shalaka and second group treated by electric cauterisation Outcome measures included relief of symptoms such as discharge and contact bleeding reduction in size of the erosion and re epithelization of the cervix My aim is to find out that a Agnikarma with Panchdhatu Shalaka is how much effective than electric cauterization in managing Karnini Yonivyapada cervical erosion by destructing the aberrant epithelium and promoting healthy squamous re epithelialisation
