Differential Diagnosis with reasoning

Secondary infertility

Puthragni yonivyapath:

''Roukshyathaayuryadha garbha
jatham vinasayeth
Dushta sonithajam narya: puthragni
saa matha//(Charaka.chi30)

''Shitham sthitham hanti garbha
puthragni raktha samsravath
Chathasrushvapi chaadhyasu pitha
lingochrayo bhaveth// ''(su.sa)

Charaka says that vayu aggravated due
to predominance of rooksha properties
in the body repeatedly destroys the
fetuses conceived with vitiated sonitha (Abnormalities of sonitha by vayu).

Susrutha says that in this condition, the
fetuses after attaining stability are
repeatedly destroyed due to bleeding,
besides there are other clinical features
of disordered pitha.

In all these gynecological disorders after proper oleation and sudation, emesis etc. all five purifying measures should be used. Only after proper cleansing of doshas through upper and lower passages, other medications should be given. This emesis etc. cleansing measures cure gynecologic disorders in the same way as they cure the diseases of other systems.
