Treatment of PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) in Ayurveda with Herbal Remedies

ABSTRACT

Pelvic Inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the Women’s reproductive organs which is commonly caused by Sexually transmitted bacteria which gets spread from the vagina to the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. The female reproductive system consists of Internal and external organs which create hormones and are further responsible for ovulation, menstruation and sexual activities. External genitalia protects the internal organs which allows the entry of sperm into the vagina. Menarche is the female’s first menstrual cycle and the normal menstrual cycle is divided into follicular and luteal phases and is more variable in its time course. In this article, we are going to discuss the causes and symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease with its Ayurvedic aspect in detail.

INTRODUCTION

Untreated Sexually Transmitted Disease (STDs) leads to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease which is a serious condition caused by Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. Sometimes it leads to serious complications, as the bacteria first enter the vagina and cause infection, with the passage of time it moves to pelvic organs. It can be a life-threatening complication when it gets spread to the bloodstream. There is Pain in the lower abdomen and there is unusual discharge from the vagina. About 770,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with Pelvic Inflammatory disease each year. The complications which include Short-term complications are- Tubo-ovarian and pelvic abscess, whereas Long term Complications include Ectopic pregnancy, Infertility and chronic pain in the pelvis.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

• This adhesion leads to the complete loss of ciliated epithelial cells with fallopian tubes resulting in impaired transport of the ovum so there is an increased risk of infertility and ectopic pregnancy.
• Sometimes this adhesion leads to chronic pelvic pain.

CAUSES OF PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE

AYURVEDIC ASPECT

As per Ayurveda, it is due to an imbalance of tridoshas which is responsible for all health and health-related complications. According to Ayurveda Pelvic inflammatory disease is due to vitiation of Pitta and Vata doshas. As Vata doshas cause pain and difficulty during intercourse. Pitta vitiations are related to inflammation and a burning sensation. Due to the vitiation of Kapha doshas, there is a build-up of Ama (toxins) which gets mixed with blood and further reaches the reproductive system. Mainly Apana Vata is responsible for the management and the proper and undisturbed functions of pelvic organs.

CHIKITSA

The main aim of the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease is to reduce pain and swelling and to control the aggravation of Pitta and Vata doshas.

1. Role of Panchakarma

It is helpful in expelling the vitiated doshas by shodhana (cleansing or expelling of doshas).

• Virechana- It is the best way to expel the morbid pitta to control the inflammation. When the vitiated Vata and Pitta are under control then the pain and inflammation subside. Virechana is administered after the Snehana and Swedana which totally expels the morbid doshas. 
• Basti- Basti is medicated enema which expels out the morbid Vata doshas and supports- strengthens the tissues. All 3 types of Basti are beneficial: Kashaya Basti- decoction enemas, Sneha Basti- Enema with medicated oils and ghee and Uttara Basti- Enema are given into the uterus. Matra Basti- Small doses of oil and ghee enema are given which will strengthen the organs along with pacifying the morbid Vata and Pitta.

2. Shotha Chikitsa

It is the Shamana chikitsa which pacifies the vitiated doshas.

• After proper Aamapaachana, Agnideepana and Santarpana are done.
• Parisheka with Triphala Kwath
• Yoni Pichu (tampons with medicated oils)

Pangastritis can occur suddenly known as acute gastritis or appear slowly over time known as chronic gastritis.

When we eat food, it goes down through the food pipe and it is stored in stomach for about 1.5-2 hours. In the stomach, food undergoes disintegration into small particles. HCl (Hydrochloric Acid) kills the micro-organisms present in the food. The small portion of the food is absorbed. After 1.5-2 hours, the food is pushed down to intestine for further digestion.

If the inner lining of the stomach is irritated or damaged or inflamed, this condition is known as gastritis. The stomach lining can become inflamed due to certain reasons like heavy alcohol consumption, eating spicy and junk food, stress etc.

The symptoms appear when the gut becomes a conducive environment for H.pylori to colonise. According to Ayurvedic concept, the inbuild of toxins and impurities, blockage of proper circulation in the gut creates ground for mucosal irritation from both the toxins and H.pylori growth.
