REBALANCING REPRODUCTION: AN AYURVEDIC CASE STUDY IN PCOS AND UTERINE FIBROID MANAGEMENT

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Uterine Fibroids are prevalent gynecological disorders that significantly impact women's reproductive and metabolic health, often requiring long-term management. This case study, conducted at Jeena Sikho Lifecare Limited Hospital, Kolkata, explores the effectiveness of Ayurvedic interventions in managing these conditions in a 30-year-old female patient. PCOS, a common endocrine disorder, is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries, while uterine fibroids are benign tumors causing heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain. The patient presented with irregular menstruation, lower abdominal pain, and heaviness and underwent a four-month personalized Ayurvedic regimen, including Ayurvedic formulations, diet, and lifestyle modifications. Significant improvements were observed, including regularized menstrual cycles, reduced abdominal discomfort, and a decrease in ovarian cyst size. Diagnostic imaging confirmed positive therapeutic effects, suggesting that Ayurvedic treatments contribute to hormonal balance, reproductive health, and metabolic regulation. These findings highlight Ayurveda’s potential as a complementary approach to conventional treatments. However, further large-scale studies and clinical trials are necessary to validate its efficacy and establish standardized protocols for integrating Ayurveda into modern gynecological care.
