Abstract:
Cervical erosion, a benign lesion is sometimes much troublesome
due to its chronicity and nature of recurrence. It is the
replacement of the stratified squamous epithelium of the
portio-vaginalis by the columnar epithelium of endocervix.
Considering the feature of cervical
erosion, it can be correlated with Garbhashayagrivagata Vrana.The
treatment is designed to destruct overgrowth columnar epithelium
either by chemical substances or cryosurgery or electric cautery.
In Ayurvedic classics for destruction of any such lesion kshara
is prescribed. Keeping these points in view, the present work a
clinical comparative study has been made to assess the effect of
Snuhi Kshara cauterization and electric cautery cauterization in
cervical erosion cases.The
Kshara and Electric cautery were applied locally on eroded
cervix and results were assessed on the basis of epithelization
of erosion and improvement in symptoms.The study reveals that Snuhi Kshara (Euphorbia
neriefolia) cauterization showed better results than
electric cautery cauterization
