Gynaecology
This article is indebted to the most famous Ayurvedic Gynaecologist of Kerala. Dr Syamala has been and still is a constant guide to many of doctors like me regarding the practice of gynaecology. Many of we doctors are grateful to her guidance in clinical practice. She opines that fantastic remarkable cure for various Gynaecological diseases can be achieved through Ayurvedic system of medicine. It can rectify conditions that seem to be incurable through Allopathic system. However, there is lack of awareness about the same. Majority of women approach modern medicine Doctors with the concept that they can get the best result with in a very short period. Of course, Ayurvedic medicine may take some more time and may need patience but complete cure without recurrence is possible. The common Gynaecological diseases that can be cured through Ayurveda along with duration and type of management are enlisted by her here.
Good delivery care is performed with purely Ayurvedic drugs (Allopathic drugs used only in emergencies) by expert Ayurvedic gynaecologists in maternity hospitals throughout the country. Normal deliveries, forceps and ventouse (assisted labours) are conducted by Ayurvedic doctors. Those who need Caesarean section are referred to Allopathic hospitals except in some hospitals.
Special post natal care is given including specific regimen and massage that is a specialty of Kerala. Its unfortunate to note that many dependents of the serving personnel rely on private hospitals for such services.
