A Clinical Evaluation of Kshara Karma Therapy in the Management of Cervical Erosion: A Case Report

Abstract

Introduction: Cervical erosion (cervical ectopy) is a common gynecological condition characterized by
the replacement of the squamous epithelium with columnar epithelium on the ectocervix, leading to
symptoms like vaginal discharge, vulval itching, and pain. Conventional biomedical treatments such as
electrocautery, cryotherapy, and laser vaporization are often used, but these are invasive and carry
potential side effects. This study explores the effectiveness of a holistic Ayurvedic approach for managing
cervical erosion.
