Vaginal discharge is one of the most common symptoms of gynecological morbidity. Vaginitis is the most prevalent cause followed by cervicitis. Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) and Reproductive Tract Infections (RTIs) often present with vaginal discharge. Vaginal discharge (safed pani in Hindi) is one of the leading symptoms for which the women seek care. The concept of safed paani is linked to ayurvedic beliefs about balance among the body dhatus. Safed pani is also widely attributed to heat. It is associated with a variety of psychological disorders. Vaginal discharge is one of the most common symptoms of gynaecological morbidity. In India,‘diet’,‘weakness’ and ‘heat’ are the dominant themes in context of women’s illnesses. As per the Ayurvedic concepts, vaginal discharge in women has been equated with semen discharge (dhat) in men. People have even been reported to say that vaginal discharge contained jaraseem (micro-organisms...just like sperms in semen. And in the Indian system of medicine, ‘semen’ is a potent and all powerful, precious fluid in the body. Low cost investigations should be made available in the centres.STD clinics should be opened in the centres.
