Abstract

This review article investigates the potential of vacuum delivery in gynecology, incorporating perspectives from both Ayurveda and modern medicine. Vacuum extraction, an increasingly prevalent method in obstetrics, presents a nuanced approach to childbirth, with implications for maternal and neonatal health. Through a comprehensive analysis of Ayurvedic principles and contemporary medical research, this paper examines the historical evolution, procedural techniques, benefits, and risks associated with vacuum delivery. By juxtaposing Ayurvedic insights with modern scientific findings, it elucidates the compatibility of vacuum extraction with holistic approaches to women's health. This integrative exploration not only sheds light on the efficacy and safety of vacuum delivery but also underscores the importance of a multidimensional understanding of obstetric interventions. Emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts between traditional and modern healthcare systems, this review advocates for an inclusive approach to gynecological care that honors diverse perspectives and promotes optimal maternal and neonatal outcomes.
