The general line of treatment should be targeted towards the [[dosha]], hence [[vata]]ja, [[pitta]]ja, [[kapha]]ja 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 [[dosha]] 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]
