Abstract

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is one of the common clinical conditions met in day-to-day gynaecological practice especially among the parous women. The entity includes descent of the vaginal wall and/or the uterus. According to WHO estimation, the global prevalence of uterine prolapse is 2- 20%. This problem may develop after child birth, progression of age, and injury to the muscles and organs situated there. Anything that causes increased pressure in the abdomen can lead to pelvic organ prolapse. In Ayurveda, all genital organs related conditions come under Yonivyapada. Among them, Prasramsini can be most suitably correlated with 1st and 2nd degree uterine prolapse. The management principle of pelvic organ prolapse includes Vathika yoniroga chikitsa along with Sthanika chikitsa. Sthanik Chikitsa is a local therapy that is applied directly on genitals to treat any diseased conditions. Veshwar pinda is one of them mentioned by Acharyas for the treatment of prasramsini yonivyapada, which give strength to the tissues removing laxity which is the basic defect in this condition.
