Other common gynaecological disorders addressed
Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are non-invasive tumours that develop in the uterine lining. They are sometimes known as myomas or fibromyomas, depending on their size. Because fibroids seldom cause problems, you may be unaware if you have one. The primary cause of uterine fibroids has been identified as hormones that stimulate the uterine lining in preparation for the next menstrual cycle. Another factor could be genetic changes in intrauterine cells.
Ayurvedic treatment for fibroid in the uterus is based on a root cause study of the patient because each individual is thought to have a unique constitution. Ayurveda provides long-term therapy with little side effects. According to Ayurveda, uterine fibroids are frequently produced by Kaphadosha, which is related with Vata and Pitta, hence balancing the vitiated doshas is crucial.
Ayurveda is a comprehensive medical approach that emphasises the use of a variety of herbal medicines to treat an ailment. Ayurvedic treatments for uterine fibroids aim to boost the immune system and balance the body’s hormones. This allows the ovaries to function correctly and, as a result, the uterus to remain healthy.
Vaginosis caused by bacteria
Because herbal medications have been found to be quite successful without causing any side effects, Ayurvedic therapy for bacterial vaginosis is the safest way to eliminate its symptoms, such as vaginal discharge with a fishy scent. It is a type of vaginal inflammation caused by an excess of bacteria in the vagina. Although the illness can affect any woman, it is more common in women of reproductive age.
According to Ayurveda, KaphajaYonivyapath is related with bacterial vaginosis. In this situation, the infection is caused by a Kaphadosha imbalance. According to the scriptures, vata is the fundamental dosha that causes all yoni roga.
As a result, any treatment for yoni vyapat or vaginitis should be accompanied with vatasamana (calming) treatments. As a result, snehana, svedana, and mrdusodhana should be practised in this setting. Then, depending on the severity of the individual dosahs’ impairment, yoni sthanikachikitsa (local therapy) such as parisheka, pichu, pralepana, abhyanga, and uttaravasthi (medicine installation through vagina or cervix) are given.
Menopause
In Ayurveda, menopause is defined as the cessation of ovarian activity, which results in persistent amenorrhoea (absence of menstrual cycle). The onset of menopause can be determined if the monthly period is lacking for twelve months. It usually appears between the ages of 45 and 50.
Because each woman is unique, her menopausal symptoms and experiences are as well. Menopause progression is influenced by lifestyle and stress levels, inherited factors, and other major life events such as divorce or loss of loved ones, particularly in the years preceding menopause.
Menopausal symptoms are viewed as imbalances of the “three doshas” that emerge as a natural and gradual outcome of ageing in Ayurveda. Ayurvedic menopause treatment includes correcting dosha imbalance with nutrition, medications, and internal cleansing or panchakarma procedures. Yoga and exercises done concurrently will benefit the neurological, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal systems.
