Abstract

Yonikanda is described in Ladhutrayis in Ayurveda which appeared nearer to Bartholin abscess and account 2% of all gynaecological visits a year. This case study was done to see the efficacy of Japakusuma kalka Yonilepa (application of paste made by hibiscus flowers over the cyst) followed by oral Ayurvedic drugs in the management of Yonikanda w.s.r. to Bartholin cyst. A 21 years old unmarried but sexually active female patient came to PTSR OPD complaining pain and swelling at vagina with burning since a week. During pelvic examination, she was diagnosed by Yonikanda (left side Bartholin cyst). Serological examinations were done to exclude any other infective conditions. She was treated by Japakusuma kalka Yonilepa for 10 days with orally Manjishthadi kwatha 10 ml empty stomach twice a day and Kaishora guggulu two tablets with luke warm water twice a day for 10 days. Yonikanda (Bartholin cyst) was markedly recovered by local therapy i.e., Japakusuma kalka Yonilepa and oral drugs. Complete remission was found in symptoms as well. Ayurvedic Sthanika Chikitsa (local procedure) i.e., Yonilepa with oral drugs can be the batter management option for Yonikanda (left side Bartholin cyst) without any side effects.
