Clinical Correlation of Karnini Yoni Vyapad with Cervical Erosion: An Integrative Review of Ayurvedic and Modern Management

Karnini Yoni Vyapad is a chronic gynaecological disorder described in Ayurvedic literature under Yonivyapad, characterized by excessive vaginal discharge, genital discomfort, itching, and abnormal bleeding. These features show marked similarity to cervical erosion (cervical ectropion), a common benign condition in modern gynaecology associated with chronic cervicitis and epithelial alterations of the cervix. Despite this overlap, a clear academic correlation between the two conditions has not been systematically analysed.
