Abstract

Background: Episiotomy is a surgically planned incision on the perineum and the posterior vaginal wall during the second stage of labor. It is more prone to an infection that is why it requires wound care and maintenance. Episiotomy can be compared to Chhina Vrana (a kind of Sadhyo Vrana). Durvadi tail a have been mentioned in Yogratnakar as vrana ropak in the treatment of Sadhyo vrana. Aim: Clinical evaluation of the effect of doorvadi taila on wound healing. Method: A total of 61 women for whom episiotomy was given during normal vaginal delivery were randomly selected in a single group. Prakshalan of wound with patol nimbh patra kwath was done followed by local application of doorvadi tail on episiotomy twice a day. Assessment of patients was done on 3rd, 5th and 7th day postpartum on the basis of REEDA scale. Followup of patient was done after two weeks. Result: The study gave significant results. Overall 84.44% patients showed excellent healing, 13.33% showed marked healing and 2.2% showed moderate healing. Conclusion: Durvadi taila was found effective in preventing wound from getting infected and thus promoting wound to heal properly hence can be prescribed as a local healing agent.
