"SIDDHA CURE" IN 'LEUCORRHOEA' AND 'PELVIC INFLAMATORY DISEASES'

• Leucorrhoea or leucorrea, vaginal discharge is a universal problem of all women.
• Usually the normal secretions are slimy and slightly sticky. It is something like nasal secretion.
• The vaginal secretions varries throughout the menstrualcycle peaking at ovulation and also increasing when under emotional stress.
• In most of the cases it is not significant.
• It should be noticed if the discharge is 'blood stained' or yellowish in colour.
• 'Blood stained' discharge indicates pelvic inflamatory diseases or some serious malignant diseases.Yelloish discharge indicates some infection.
• Itching in the external genital region and offensive odour in the vaginal discharge also indicate some infection in the tract.
• Any way thorough investigation should be done in certain conditions.
• Untreated excessive vaginal discharge may lead to Pelvic InflamatoryDisease(PID) which is a chronic Utrene problem.

IN MY CLINICAL PRACTICE

• Lot of patients,with excessive vaginal discharge of different age groups are being treated in my clinic.
• First of all they are grouped in to Infective and Non-infective cases.
• Usually non-infective type is easily treated by special Siddha formulations.
• Siddha cooling agents,Haemetenics,Immuno modulators,Health promoting agents are administered accordingto the condition in non-infective cases.
• In Infective cases and PID cases,strong anti microbial agents are administered as per Siddha literatures.
• Both of the cases respond very well in Siddha treatment,but longer duration of medication is needed in the chronic infective cases.
• They may need 3 to 6 months duration for a satisfactory result.
