Sexual Health

1. Low Libido and Sexual Dysfunction

Low libido and sexual dysfunction in women are often linked to hormonal imbalances, stress, mental health issues, or underlying health conditions like diabetes or cardiovascular problems. Modern treatments include hormone replacement therapy (HRT), counselling, and medications like antidepressants or testosterone therapy to enhance sexual function. Psychotherapy and lifestyle changes are also recommended to address psychological factors affecting sexual health. 

Ayurvedic Aspect: 

In Ayurveda, sexual health is governed by the health of Shukra Dhatu (reproductive tissue), and low libido is often a result of Vata and Pitta imbalances, as well as depletion of Ojas (vital energy). Ayurvedic treatments include Rasayana therapies to rejuvenate and nourish the reproductive tissues, along with herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Gokshura to improve vitality, hormone balance, and sexual function. Panchakarma therapies like Abhyanga (oil massage) and Basti (medicated enema) help detoxify and strengthen the body, supporting sexual health.

2. Vaginal Infections

Modern Aspect: 

Vaginal infections, including bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are common issues in women. These infections can cause discomfort, itching, discharge, and odor. Modern treatment involves antibiotics or antifungal medications, depending on the type of infection, as well as maintaining proper hygiene to prevent recurrence. Regular check-ups and safe sexual practices are also recommended to reduce the risk of STIs. 

Ayurvedic Aspect: 

In Ayurveda, vaginal infections are often linked to an imbalance in Pitta and Kapha doshas, which can lead to excess heat and moisture in the reproductive system. Ayurvedic treatments focus on cooling and detoxifying the body with herbs for their antimicrobial properties. Panchakarma therapies such as Virechana (purgation) and herbal douches help cleanse the reproductive system and restore balance. Dietary and lifestyle changes are also emphasized to support long-term health and prevent infections. 

VIAMS’s Integrated Treatment Protocol: 

At VIAMS, our integrated treatment protocol combines modern antimicrobial therapies with Ayurvedic herbal remedies and Panchakarma detoxification to treat and prevent vaginal infections. We also offer personalized advice on hygiene, diet, and lifestyle modifications to strengthen the immune system and reduce the likelihood of recurring infections.

3. Vaginal Dryness

Vaginal dryness is often associated with hormonal changes during menopause, but it can also result from stress, medications, or certain health conditions. It can lead to discomfort, irritation, and painful intercourse. Modern treatments include the use of vaginal lubricants, estrogen therapy, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to manage dryness and restore comfort. 

Ayurvedic Aspect: 

In Ayurveda, vaginal dryness is seen as a result of Vata imbalance, particularly during menopause when natural moisture levels decline. Ayurvedic treatment includes the use of nourishing herbs like Shatavari and Ashwagandha to balance hormones and enhance tissue health. External therapies such as Abhyanga (oil massage) with medicated oils help to restore lubrication and soothe dryness. Dietary recommendations include foods that nourish and hydrate the tissues, supporting long-term balance. 

VIAMS’s Integrated Treatment Protocol: 

At VIAMS, our approach integrates modern treatments like hormone therapy with Ayurvedic herbal remedies to treat vaginal dryness effectively. Our protocol includes personalized Panchakarma therapies, lubricating herbal oils, and dietary modifications to promote moisture balance and overall vaginal health. We also incorporate stress-reducing techniques like Yoga and meditation to support hormonal equilibrium and emotional well-being.
