Abstract:
Non-specific vaginal discharge in reproductive-age women represents a common clinical problem with limited effective therapeutic options, often persisting despite exclusion of identifiable infective or structural causes. The underlying pathophysiological basis remains poorly defined. Therefore, it is of interest to test the hypothesis that symptom persistence reflects a functional-inflammatory phenotype responsive to systemic humoral modulation. Hence, 80 women aged 18-45 years were evaluated longitudinally after standardized diagnostic exclusion using ordinal symptom scales. Treatment resulted in a significant reduction in discharge severity and associated symptoms, accompanied by decreased inflammatory markers and stable safety parameters (p < 0.001), supporting an idiopathic-inflammatory model amenable to targeted Unani therapy.
