hello bal, You’re 58, and living with recurrent vaginal cysts for 4 years, along with chronic conditions like lichen simplex, hidradenitis suppurativa, and irregular heartbeat, your body is signaling deep-seated chronic inflammation, suppressed immunity, and tissue-level imbalance. Repeated antibiotic use is giving only temporary relief, but not addressing the root cause and over time, it may actually increase the sensitivity and recurrence.

In Ayurveda, this kind of condition is considered a Dushta Yonivyapad, mainly involving Pitta-Rakta-Vata dushti along with chronic Kapha-Srotorodha (blockage and fluid stagnation). The cysts are not only local; they’re a manifestation of accumulated toxins (Ama), hormonal imbalance, and long-standing tissue-level damage. That’s why lichen simplex, HS, and cysts are overlapping they are all auto-inflammatory in nature, aggravated by poor lymphatic drainage and internal heat.

But yes with internal detox, immune modulation, and consistent care, you can ease the symptoms and reduce recurrence. It needs a patient but steady effort.

Internal Medicines (6–8 weeks minimum): Guggulutiktaka Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water before food, twice daily Kaishora Guggulu – 2 tabs twice daily after food Sudarshan Vati – 2 tabs twice daily to reduce chronic inflammation and prevent infections Punarnavadi Mandura – 1 tab twice daily (helps in tissue repair, supports liver and blood) Kanchanara Guggulu – 2 tabs at bedtime for cyst resolution External Therapies (if possible at home or in clinic): Sitz bath (Yoni avagaha) with Triphala + Neem + Turmeric decoction – 15 mins daily Gentle yoni pichu (cotton swab dipped in Jatyadi Taila or Nirgundi Taila) – insert locally for 15 mins after bath, if comfortable Local application: Lodhra + Manjistha + Yashtimadhu paste (mix with rose water) over vulvar area 3 times/week

Pathya (Diet and Routine): Start your day with warm water + 1 tsp cow ghee Include bitter and astringent tastes – methi, neem, turmeric, karela, lauki, beetroot, moringa Eat freshly cooked food, avoid leftover or cold food Hydrate with coriander + fennel seed water Take 5 soaked almonds, 7 raisins, and 2 dates every morning

Avoid (Apathya): Curd, cheese, paneer, non-veg food during active flare Cold water, fridge food, reheated leftovers Sugary snacks, bread, bakery items Tight undergarments, synthetic fabrics Stress, sleep disturbance

Investigations to Rule Out Underlying Aggravators: HbA1c (check sugar profile if diabetic tendency suspected) CRP, ESR (for inflammation tracking) Pelvic USG (to reassess cyst type/structure) Vitamin D3 and B12 levels Pap smear if not done recently

This kind of condition needs layered healing not just symptomatic relief. We have to cool the inflammation, detoxify, repair tissues, and support hormonal-liver-lymphatic function. With patience and gentle Ayurveda, it’s absolutely possible to reduce your discomfort and bring long-term relief.

If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO BAL,

Hidrandenitis Suppurative is a long-term chronic skin condition where painful boils, lumps, or cysts form under the skin, often in areas where the skin rubs together- like armpits, groin, buttocks and under breasts.

Understanding your symptoms, which seem to align with a condition like hidradenitis suppurativa, it’s crucial to first emphasize the importance of not discontinuing prescribed medications without consulting your doctor. However, complementary approaches can support your treatment.

Hidradenitis suppurativa often reflects an imbalance, particularly of the pitta dosha, which governs inflammation and heat in the body. To ease your symptoms, focus on pacifying pitta through diet and lifestyle modifications. Avoid spicy, oily, and acidic foods that can aggravate pitta. Include cooling foods like cucumber, melons, and leafy greens. Drink plenty of water and tender coconut water throughout the day to keep yourself hydrated and cool.

Use turmeric, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, by consuming it with warm milk, ideally before bed. Applying a paste of turmeric and sandalwood at the site can provide relief and support detoxification. Do this once daily for a week and observe changes.

Regular kanchanar guggulu, an ayurvedic preparation, can promote healing of skin tissue and alleviate the issue. Take it as per the guidelines on the package or as advised by an Ayurvedic practitioner.

Maintain proper hygiene; gently clean affected areas with neem or tulsi (holy basil) infused water, known for their antibacterial properties, and dry thoroughly, ensuring no moisture retention.

Gentle yoga asanas, like marjariasana (cat pose) and bitilasana (cow pose), can support lymphatic circulation which is beneficial. Practice for 15 minutes daily in a calm environment. Avoid harsh movements or high-intensity workouts that increase friction or sweat.

Please share developments or persisting severity with a healthcare provider since it is essential for monitoring a condition like this. Remember, integrative approaches can be supportive but should never replace professional medical treatments.

1stly hidradenitis suppurativa never cured by internal medicine and only way and best treatment is ksharasutra therapy and never reccurancce HP is like sinus tracks is cured by only ksharasutra application not by internal medicine

Are the cysts are pus filled?? Are you seeing any improvement after taking antibiotics??
