| Abstract: Vulvovaginitis is more common problem of pregnant women that challenges the gynaecologist. It is an inflammatory condition of the vulva and vagina and characterized by vaginal discharge, pain & itching in external genital organs. Various pathogens are responsible for this condition such as bacteria, parasite, mycotic and virus. Any infection in birth canal may cause premature rupture of membrane and preterm labour resulting in pregnancy loss. Diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical features and presence of pathogens in wet slide study and vaginal swab culture. Treatment depends upon the causative organisms with systemic or local drugs. Aim of study was to see the efficacy of Panchavalkala ointment in vulvovaginitis during pregnancy. Total 50 cases were selected and divided into 2 groups according to the different treatment. Patients were called weekly interval to observe any change and findings were recorded. Results were assessed on the basis of symptomatic relief and absence of pathogens in wet slide study and vaginal swab culture. Panchavalkala ointment is more effective against Trichomonas Vaginalis & E. Faecalis in comparison to Triclovate ointment. | |
