Ayurvedic Treatment for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

As per Ayurvedic treatments, it believes in uprooting the core reason for the causation of the disease. Some of the treatment protocols done are :

PID is caused due to Vata and Pitta vitiation so treatment alleviating them is given.
Yoni Pichu is a tampon with vata-alleviating drugs like oil medicated with a decoction of shallaki(Boswellia serrata), Jambu(Syzygium aqueum), etc.
Swedana which is fomentation with Vata alleviating drugs.
Bringing changes in their lifestyle and diet like avoiding salt, sour and spicy food.
Counseling them about the ill effects of the suppression of natural urges.

PID is correlated as paripluta in Ayurveda, a condition where women with pitta prakriti suppress natural urges like Kshavathu (sneezing) and udgara ( eructation) during coitus due to which vitiated vayu combines with pitta get aggravated and afflicts yoni and causes paripluta.

The condition exhibits vaginal edema, fever, Pain in the pelvic region, groin, and back, and blue or yellow menstrual discharge with discomfort, etc.

पित्तलाया नृसंवासे क्षवथुद्गारधारणात् ।

पित्तसंमूर्च्छितो वायुर्योनिं दूषयति स्त्रियाः ॥

शूना स्पर्शाक्षमा सार्तिर्नीलपीतमसृक् स्त्रवेत् ।

श्रोणिवंक्षणपृष्ठार्तिज्वरार्तायाः परिप्लुता ॥

Frequently Asked Questions

Can PID be cured completely ?

Certainly, considering that PID is analyzed early, it can be dealt with. In any case, treatment will not fix any harm that has previously happened to your conceptual framework. The likelihood of developing PID-related complications increases with time for treatment.

Can urinary tract infection lead to PID ?

The bladder infection can get worse and spread to the uterus or ovaries, resulting in pelvic inflammatory disease, if not treated

Do oral contraceptive pills cause PID ?

It's found that OCPs do not affect PID incidence. The use of an intrauterine device (IUD) has been linked to a 2- to 9-fold increase in the risk of PID, but the risk may be significantly lower with current IUDs.

Will PID lead to cancer in reproductive organs ?

The risk of being afflicted with Ovarian and cervical cancer may be increased by pelvic inflammatory disease. HPV, the virus that causes genital warts may be present in women with PID and is a risk factor for cervical cancer.

Can infertility caused due to PID be cured ?

If PID is not treated, scar tissue can block the fallopian tubes. As a result of PID, approximately 100,000 women begin infertility treatments annually. However, even though getting pregnant can be more challenging for women with PID, having a child is not impossible.
