On the basis of age, strength, physical characters etc there are innumerable types or combinations.To manage the Dosha which is deeply seated into the tissue, many procedures which seems to be opposite or contradictory as per the classical concepts may have to be advocated. For example ''pitta'' which is ''ushna'' (hot) in nature is treated by ''sheeta'' (cold) procedures generally, but the deep seated vitiated ''pitta'' is to be treated by giving hot fomentation or poultice. If cold procedures are implemented in this condition, it may worsen the condition. Similarly , deep seated ''kapha dosha'' is to be treated with''sheeta'' procedures . Here,''Lepas'' made out of ''sheeta dravyas'' like ''chandana'' may be applied. Even though ''chandana'' is a ''sheeta dravya'',the ''lepa'' made out of superfine powder of ''chandana'' , if it is applied on the lesion, it will block the heat coming out of the skin. This accumulated heat creates burning at the site. In opposite, if ''lepa'' of ''agaru'' which is hot in nature is applied, it will impart coldness in that part. It is said that the stool of fly is having anti-emetic property but if someone consumes the fly,it will induces vomiting. Food substances if boiled or baked may get changed in their properties.

If cold procedures are implemented in this condition, it may worsen the condition. Similarly , deep seated [[kapha dosha]] is to be treated with''sheeta'' procedures . Here,''Lepas'' made out of ''sheeta dravyas'' like ''chandana'' may be applied. Even though ''chandana'' is a ''sheeta dravya'',the ''lepa'' made out of superfine powder of ''chandana'' , if it is applied on the lesion, it will block the heat coming out of the skin. This accumulated heat creates burning at the site. In opposite, if ''lepa'' of ''agaru'' which is hot in nature is applied, it will impart coldness in that part. It is said that the stool of fly is having anti-emetic property but if someone consumes the fly,it will induces vomiting. Food substances if boiled or baked may get changed in their properties. Thus it’s important for a ''vaidya'', that he should not depend only on the properties of the ''yoga'' (formulation). He must consider all the ten factors discussed earlier along with different types of factors, their classification and some exceptional rules while treating the disorders. [321-326]

As a small sparkle of fire flares up when it comes in contact with wind or wood and gets converted into huge flames of fire. Similarly in a weak body in which previously a disease pathology had occurred and it has just recovered from the disease, whenever it gets chance, the disease may again relapse the body. Hence for the better results of the medicines administered, ''pathya'' (wholesome diet) must be followed even after the disease symptoms are completely disappeared.

−

If strong or weak medicament has vitiated the ~~''doshas''~~internally, they can be pacified by following wholesome diet. If disease status aggravates even if wholesome diet is followed,then the diet pattern should be changed which may help to inhibit the progression of disease. If patient is bored from taking the same food or does not relish the food, then food should be prepared by different methods which will be liked by the patient.

*The manifestation of diseases of female genital tract can occur in two ways viz. structural abnormalities and functional abnormalities. This leads to defects in menstruation, difficulty in sexual intercourse, inability to conceive i.e. infertility or abortion.

*The diseases of female genital tract are influenced by various physiological factors like age, maturity, menstruation, sexual intercourse, pregnancy, labor, menopause and suppression of natural urges.

The general line of treatment should be targeted towards the ''dosha'', hence ~~''vataja~~, ~~pittaja~~, ~~kaphaja~~ yonivypat'' should be treated accordingly with ''snehana swedana, raktapittahara sheeta, ruksha ushna'' therapies respectively. In all types of gynecological disorders, [[Panchakarma]] should be administered in mild form in order to eliminate the vitiated ~~''doshas''~~ and restoring normal reproductive health. Principles of surgical corrections of congenital anomalies and displaced organs are also given stating that the uterus which has been displaced from its original place should be regarded as ''shalya'' and the treatment of ''shalya'' is its removal. Hence this is the indication of hysterectomy in complete genital prolapse. The method of such procedure is not given in any classics. [41-46]

Hence considering the crucial role of ''vata'', the treatment should be aimed at ''vata'' alleviation along with other therapies.[114-116]
