The diseases related to female genital system are elaborated under umbrella of ‘Yonivyapad’ in Ayurveda.  Vitiated Vatadosha causes pain during menstruation and subsides after menstruation. This condition is explained as Udavartini Yonivyapad in Charaka Samhita. Both Primary dysmenorrhea as per modern gynaecology and Udavartini Yonivyapad from Ayurveda show similarities in their signs and symptoms, especially pain during menstruation. After deliberation of Charaka Samhita, effect of oral administration of Rasnadi Ksheera and local Guduchyadi Kwatha Parisheka were considered for their textual reference on ‘Yonishoola’. For this single arm, open labelled, prospective study; 30 married females between the age of 18 to 42 years with Pratyatma Lakshana (cardinal features) of Udavartini Yonivyapad & signs and symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea were selected. They were given Rasnadi Ksheera 80 ml orally in Apana Kala (i.e. Before lunch & dinner) for two months. Guduchyadi Kwatha Parisheka (Vaginal Douche) was performed in Rutukala for 8 days duration (i.e. from 5th day of menstrual cycle to 12th day of menstrual cycle) for two consecutive cycles. The assessment was done on basis of standard parameters before treatment and after treatment. The subjective parameters such as Spasmodic pain in abdomen, Lumbo-sacral backache, Pain radiating to thigh, Vomiting, Constipation were assessed. The study data generated and collected was put to statistical analysis to reach to the final results and conclusions.  It was concluded that oral administration of Rasnadi Ksheera and local Guduchyadi Kwatha Parisheka were highly effective in symptomatic management of Udavarta Yonivyapad W. S. R. to primary dysmenorrhea.

AbstractBackground & ObjectivesThe douche, one of the hydrotherapeutic treatment modality is commonly used by Naturopathy physicians as a treatment of choice in the management of several ailments. This study was done to assess the effect of full body neutral douche in the management of pain and systemic symptoms in adult females with primary dysmenorrhoea.Methods68 subjects of age 18-22 years with primary dysmenorrhoea were recruited for the study and were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group (n = 34) and the control group (n = 34). The experimental group received whole body neutral douche, whereas the control group followed the routine as usual. Assessments for the pain, systemic symptoms and menstrual cramps were done by using McGill Pain Questionnaire, Verbal multidimensional scoring system and analog scale for severity of pain and menstrual cramps respectively at baseline, day 30 and day 60 of intervention. Two- way repeated measures of ANOVA was performed to understand the between group changes, adjusted for the respective baseline values and age.ResultData was analyzed with SPSS (Version 21.0) package. Neutral douche resulted in significant improvement in pain [F(2,66) = 114.564, p < 0.0005, partial ?2 = 0.771], severity of pain [F(2,66) = 70.418, p < 0.0005, partial ?2 = 0.681], cramps [F(2,66) = 75.986, p < 0.0005, partial ?2 = 0.697] and systemic symptoms [F(2,66) = 14.64, p < 0.0005, partial ?2 = 0.307] as compared to the control group.ConclusionFindings suggest that neutral douche can be used as a non-pharmacological intervention in the management of pain and systemic symptoms in primary dysmenorrhea.

Crassolabium unicum sp. n., collected from a natural habitat in Vietnam, is described and illustrated. The new species is characterized by its 0.77–0.94 mm long body, three-layered cuticle, lip region offset by depression and 12–13.5 µm broad, odontostyle 13.5–15 µm long with wide aperture occupying 36–46% of its length, neck 235–260 µm long, pharyngeal expansion 117–131 µm long or occupying 47–52% of total neck length, anterior part of intestine presenting very distinct folds, female genital system didelphic-amphidelphic, uterus simple and 28–43 µm or 0.7–0.9 body diameters, vulva transverse (V = 45–52), prerectum bearing a blind postrectal sac, caudal region short and rounded (21–25 µm, c = 45–61, c’ = 0.6–0.8) with two (dorsal and ventral) lacunae between outer and intermediate cuticle layers, and male unknown. It is compared with the similar representatives of the genus.

The oral administration of adrenocorti-costeroids provokes rapid atrophy of the thymus which is followed consistently, after stoppage of the steroid, by rapid regrowth of the thymus and, in some cases, over-growth. Steroid-induced shrinkage of the thymus makes possible visualization of the true cardiac image which is often masked by the overlapping lobes of a large thymus. Such shrinkage may prevent the spurious diagnosis of cardiomegaly, and the use of more elaborate and hazardous methods such as opaque angiocardiography and cardiac catheterization. Steroid shrinkage of the thymus is indicated only in patients who have cardiac signs and symptoms combined with enlarged deformed mediastinums in which the true cardiac image cannot be seen radiographically. Steroid shrinkage is not indicated in patients who have cardiac signs and symptoms combined with small mediastinums, or in patients who have large mediastinums without cardiac signs and symptoms. Steroid shrinkage should not be tried when there are other factors which suggest greater than the probable benefits to be derived from their use. Massive rapid regrowth of the thymus following steroid-inducing atrophy was not associated with clinical signs or symptoms in any of our cases.

Abstract The female genital system is rarely affected in von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis. The vulva is the most frequent genital location, but vaginal, cervical, uterine, and ovarian neurofibromas have rarely been reported. We describe a case of plexiform neurofibroma affecting the uterine cervix in a patient with chronic pelvic pain and menorrhagia who had multiple cutaneous neurofibromas and 1 large paraspinal neurofibroma. A small plexiform neurofibroma, which was not grossly visible, was confined to the uterine cervix and coexisted with a uterine leiomyoma and adenomyosis. There were no neurofibromas in the myometrium, fallopian tubes, or ovaries. Plexiform neurofibroma is a neoplasm that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of spindle cell neoplasms of the uterine cervix, especially in specimens from patients with neurofibromatosis.

Enchodelus carpaticus sp. n. is distinguished by its body 1.59-1.87 mm long, lip region offset by a marked depression and 17-20 μm diam., odontostyle 39.5-47 μm long and 2.1-2.5 lip region diam. or 2.3-2.8% of total body length, odontophore 42-51 μm long and with distinct basal flanges, neck 336-388 μm long, pharyngeal expansion 136-167 μm long or 39-45% of total neck length, presence of dorsal cell mass near cardia, female genital system amphidelphic, uterus tripartite and 144-195 μm long or 2.2-2.9 times the corresponding body diam., pars refringens vaginae with two trapezoidal sclerotisations, V = 42-50, and female tail short and rounded (21-29 μm long, c = 55-87, c′ = 0.5-0.7). Additional data, including LM pictures, are presented for E. macrodorus and E. saxifragae.
