Dr. Asha Parvathi V.*

Abstract

Despite the decline in the occurrence of genital ulcers or chancroid, they have not disappeared entirely. The reduction in cases is likely due to increased awareness regarding sexual health and well-being among the current generation. The emergence of a disease is not necessarily related to how severe or intense it may be. Chancroid is marked by pus-filled vaginal discharge, a stinging sensation, an unpleasant smell, and the presence of one or more ulcers in the genital or vaginal area. The cause can be attributed to bacteria. This article discusses a detailed case study involving a 35-year-old woman who was diagnosed with a Chancroid infection. Utilizing her symptoms as a guide, she was effectively treated with Ayurvedic medicine for a duration of 7 days, without the use of antibiotics. She experienced full recovery within this week. Both oral and localized treatments were administered over the course of 7 days with careful monitoring. Results were documented and analysed symptomatically throughout the brief 7-day period. Following her complete recovery, the patient was discharged from the hospital. It is clear that bacterial infections can be addressed using Ayurveda with appropriate medications and treatment, leading to successful outcomes.
