Introduction:
- Birth of a child is dependent on female (Stree). A female is named as Stree in Sanskrit as she gives birth to the child. She (a female) is responsible for proper growth of fetus. Hence, any disease related to female reproductive organs lead to the damage to the progeny or infertility. Therefore, it becomes necessary to discuss about the diseases related to female reproductive organs.
- Vyaapad is called as derangement; therefore Yonivyaapad refers to the derangement of Yoni. Yoni refers to the female organs of generation. This derangement of Yoni is primarily caused by the vitiation of Vaata Dosha (Na hi Vaataad Rite Yonirnaarin`aam Sampradushyati).
- Therefore, Yonivyaapad are the diseases related to female reproductive organs.
- According to Sus`hruta, when a woman suffering from dryness, weakness or who is younger by age – a girl (Baala), when perform sexual act with a man having elongated penis, Vaayu gets aggravated. This aggravatedVaayu vitiates Yoni manifesting Yoniroga (Yonivyaapad) S. U. 38/3
- These are 20 conditions wherein S`hukra is not accepted by woman and the vaginal canal & all other reproductive organs are vitiated by Doshaa_s. Ultimately, there is no conception or there may be many diseases like Gulma, Ars`ha, Pradara etc.
