Sailan-ur-Rahem (Abnormal Vaginal Discharge) in Greco-Arabic Medicine: A Review
Abstract
Greco-Arab medicine also known as Unani System of Medicine (USM) is well known based on the Hippocratic humoral theory. According to USM, every person is supposed to have a unique humoral constitution which represents his healthy state and any change in this state causes illness of the said person. The severity of the disease depends directly upon the change in equilibrium from mizaj (Temperament). In Greco-Arab medicine, Sailan-ur-Rahem is a diseased condition which occurs due to change in the quality and quantity of Balgham (phlegm) and because of excess useless matter present in the uterus, which is accumulated due to Zoef-e-quwat-e-dafea. The aim of the present review is to ascertain the Unani concept of Sailan-ur-Rahem as described in Unani classical literature, and hence to spread the knowledge for preventive measures and the management of Sailan-ur-Rahem by Unani single and compound drug formulations which are cost effective and easily available and devoid of side effects.
