I have severe vaginal itch on clitoris and labia( both folds) from 2 years now. With dryness and mild thick white discharge. Post searching and taking treatments from various gynaecologists nothing helped. So i went to see an ayurvedic practitioner. She told me go through uttarbasti. But everywhere on google i am reading that uttarbasti is not good if you have some infection. But
M she told me that google is wrong i can take sessions even in white discharge. I am now confused. Is it advisable ?

Whenever vaginal discharge present, uttarabasti is not advisable... Use the medications to prevent white discharge and itching over vagina and then go for uttara basti

Dear Practo user.

Chronic itching with discharge may indicate an unresolved infection or imbalance. While uttarbasti can help some, they should be used cautiously. We offer expert, integrative care.

She is right. Uttarbasti performed correctly with thew right formulations will definitely help. Also, repeated infections is a sign of gut dysbiosis along with insulin resistance for which you need proper oral medications and HAIP DIET which will address the root cause of the issue.
Next Steps
get in touch with a good ayurvedic practitioner who can perform uttarbasti and other panchkarma procedure in a clean and safe environment.
Health Tips
Follow HAIP DIET to address root cause and consult if required.
First of all few tests need to be done for evaluation and accordingly treatment required to get rid of this problem permanently without any side effects..
Uttarabasti is a powerful Ayurvedic therapy and can be effective in chronic vaginal issues, but it must be done only after ruling out active infections. If white discharge is due to an ongoing infection (like candidiasis), itâs best to treat that first. Please take a second Ayurvedic opinion before starting uttarbasti.
It's good that you raised a concern trusting this platform. As an ayurveda gynaecologist, my opinion is
1. Without undergoing certain tests to rule out what is the cause for infection , whether it is fungal, bacterial or any other organism we cannot give or plan a proper treatment
2. We should see the area of spread of infection.Some infection will start from cervix (opening of uterus) and then will be visible outside as white discharge or abnormal discharges which will irritate the nearby genital areas and cause itching.
3. In such cases we cannot go directly to uttarabasti without reducing the infection outside as it will be like we are spreading the infection into the uterus.
4.once the cause of infection is ruled out , we can give proper oral and external interventions and when it gets pacified you can move to uttarabasti if it's felt necessary by the practitioner.
Next Steps
Need some tests - both blood tests and swab tests
Health Tips
For better opinion regarding treatment consult personally.Thnak you for trusting ayurveda
