A multi-dimensional approach to endometrial polyp through Ayurvedic intervention – A single-case study

Abstract

Introduction: Endometrial polyps (EPs) are epithelial proliferation arising from endometrial stroma or glands. They may be responsible for 57%–60% cases of abnormal uterine bleeding. A 36-year-old female patient diagnosed with EP was managed successfully through Ayurveda. In modern science, they are giving oral contraceptive pills or advising for surgery. In this case, we managed with Ayurvedic medication for the span of 3 months and relived completely. Main Clinical Finding: Presented with complaints of intermenstrual bleeding along with heavy menstrual bleeding for the past 1.5 years Diagnosis: The patient was already diagnosed with EP; correlated to Yoni Arshas in Ayurveda classics. Interventions: The patient was treated with internal medicines Kanchanara guggulu, Lodrasava, Jahar mohra pishti, and Panchatikta ghruta guggulu along with Matravasti with Chandana bala lakshadi taila, and Uttaravasti with Kshara taila. Outcome: After 3 months of treatment got complete relief in symptoms with normal USG findings. Conclusion: Ayurvedic treatment regime may be adopted as an alternate to surgical interventions in the management of EP effectively
