Abstract :
Cervical erosion is best correlated with KarniniYonivyapad in Ayurvedic classics. In Samhitas, all gynaecological disorders come under the Yonivyapada. Description of Yonivyapad has been described by all the scholars of Brihatrayee and Laghutrayee. Clinically cervical erosion is defined as development of red velvety area on the portio vaginalis the external os. Pathologically, cervical erosion is a condition in which the squamous epithelium of the ectocervix is replaced by columnar epithelium which is continuous with the endocervix. In cervical erosion the cervix is not eroded and there is no ulceration, the reason to make cervix look red and raw is that the columnar epithelium is much thinner than squamous epithelium and so underlying blood vessels show more
clearly, making it look red and raw.
