Vulvovaginitis simply means inflammation or infection of the vulva and vagina. It shows up as itching, discharge, burning, redness or soreness in the intimate area – and it’s one of the most frequent reasons women visit a gynaecologist.
Modern medicine explains it mainly through microbes (bacteria, fungi, parasites), hormones and irritation. Ayurveda goes much deeper into dosha imbalance, tissue health and lifestyle, grouping these problems under Yoni Vyapad – disorders of the female reproductive tract.
This article focuses on a primarily Ayurvedic treatment approach, with just enough modern context to understand the condition properly.
