Apart from attending natural processes of menstruation, pregnancy, one of the most inconvenient diseases in woman is Garbhashaya Grivamukhagata Vrana (cervical erosion). Cervical erosion is a common condition seen in almost all women. It affects the whole efficacy of woman which may lead up to infertility.
