Abstract

Introduction: Paripluta Yonivyāpada, an Ayurvedic condition marked by painful menstruation, dyspareunia, and pelvic inflammation, parallels Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). Its pathogenesis involves Pitta and Vāta doṣa vitiation. This review evaluates Ayurvedic management approaches for Paripluta Yonivyāpada and their effectiveness in PID-like symptoms.

Methods: A systematic review of four clinical studies from the National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur, was conducted. The studies assessed interventions such as Yoni Pīcu, Kṛṣṇādi Cūrṇa, Śatāpuṣpa Cūrṇa, and Punarnāvadi Guggulu. Data from postgraduate theses were analyzed for outcomes including pain relief, reduction in discharge, and improvement in fever and dyspareunia.

Results: Ayurvedic treatments, especially Pañcavalkalādi Ghana Vati with Yoni Pīcu, demonstrated the best outcomes, showing 56–84% overall symptom improvement. Marked relief was noted in abdominal pain, dyspareunia, and fever, indicating clinical efficacy in PID-like conditions.

Discussion: Ayurvedic therapies appear to be effective and may serve as adjuncts to modern care. Larger randomized trials are needed to strengthen evidence and assess long-term results.
