This includes first degree, second degree, third degree uterine prolapse, cystocoele. urethrocoele, rectocoele. The management can be done as surgical and non surgical methods. In Ayurveda, it can be corelated to yonirogas Mahayoni, prasramsini, phalini/andini and vatiki yonivyapat. If any women who is prone to mithya ahara viharas, dukha prasava .dushta arthava, who didn’t follow proper dinacharya, rajaswalacharya, garbhini paricharya, sootika paricharya, results in improper dosha vititation, rasa, rakta, mamsa, medo dhatu dushti, which inturn causes upadhatu arthava, kandara, sira vitiation resulting in loosening of ligaments, muscles and structures associated with pelvic organ supports, causing organ prolapse. Among these Prasramsini can be corelated to first or second degree uterine prolapse, Andini/phalini as cystocoele, Mahayoni as third degree uterine prolapse/procidentia. The lakshana “Bhramsa’ in Vatiki yonivyapat can be corelated to displacement of garbhashaya.
