Due to unhealthy dietary habits, unhygienic living conditions and lifestyle, most of the women get easily affected by yonirogas. Vaginal discharge is the most typical problem of women in India. Shweta Pradara is one of the most common yonirogas that women complain of. Shweta Pradara is characterized by white vaginal discharge. It can be considered both a pathological and physiological condition. If we don__ampersandsignrsquo;t treat the condition in the acute stage, it starts hampering the day-to-day activities. The pathological part is considered when it disturbs a woman__ampersandsign#39;s regular routine. White vaginal discharge, along with itching, pain in the back, weakness, etc., is described as Shweta Pradara in Ayurvedic classics. Yoni prakshalan is one of the effective treatment modalities used in Shweta Pradara in daily practice. In Yoni prakshalan, warm decoction is used with sravaghna, dourgandhyahara and shulaghna properties, which helps break down the pathogenesis of Shweta Pradara effectively. This study, therefore, describes Shweta Pradara, its aetiopathogenesis, symptoms and therapeutic effect of Yoni prakshalan in the same.
