TREATED UTERINE FIBROID WITH AYURVEDA
Uterine fibroid, name itself seems to be a nightmare for women age of 30-40 years. A study says that 34.9 % of women are suffering from uterine fibroid or related complaints. The complaints in this condition vary from patient to patient some of most common features of this are heavy bleeding, abnormal menstruation, abdominal pain, lower back pain, irregular menstruation, spotting, and bleeding between periods etc. During times when apathya aharavihara has been mainstream of diet, also the stress of dayto- day life, lack of exercise and long sitting computer jobs. We as an Indian are gifted with ayurveda and yoga, were acharyas have described regimen for menopause related problems.
It was Thursday afternoon I got a call from my friend who is practicing allopathy He said “hey, I have patient who has been diagnosed as uterine fibroid and is asked to undergo surgery can you help her” later in evening around 7:00pm, a lady came in her late 30s with her brother-in-law. I asked the patient to seat and started asking about her history. She started as “Mam, I have been having bleeding for 20 days in last month and this problem is same since last 3 months. I never had such a long periods before I also feel severe pain in lower abdomen during bleeding and severe weakness that I don’t even feel like getting up from bed” as she finished this she started sobbing slowly I consoled her a bit and then she told about her past history. Since, beginning of her menarche, she used to have bleeding for just 2 days that to scanty in amount with no pain, or any foul smell. She is having two kids a girl (11 years) and boy (7 years) normal delivery. Before 3 months, she started her symptoms in which the bleeding was retained for 10 days so she went to her gynecologist and underwent a sonography and found to have uterine fibroid of 1.8cm*1.8cm. she took medicines for one month but not improved hence asked
to undergo hysteroscopic myomectomy.
I wanted some of her personal history too, so I asked about her diet and lifestyle. She smiled and said, “Mam the kids have to go school so I wake up at 5 am in morning and I don’t get time for breakfast as I stay in joint family, later I have lunch around two and then take a nap till 5 and have dinner around 10:30 after everyone is done”.
I started with giving Sukumara kshayam with kaisora guggulu and chandraprabha vati with ashokarishtam and swadist virechana churna at night for 1 month and instructed her to follow rajaswalacharya and chandranamaskara daily with 10 min meditation or mantra chanting.
After around 15 days, she called and told “Mam got bleeding today morning but having severe abdominal pain”. Frankly in beginning got puzzled to but after a pause I asked her to eat a small bowl of kheer and in 20 min she texted me back saying the pain is gone, sweet did its job in doing shamana of vata. Bleeding stayed for just 4 days and was comfortable so in follow up I changed sukumara kshyam to sukumara ghritam in shamana dose along with navayasam guilka every morning. Also started her on paneeya ksharam for 1 month.
Later, in next follow up after everything was okay bleeding got to normal and painless, started sukumara kshayam for 1 month with ashokarishtam. At the starting of January 2023, the symptoms were all gone hence , was advised to take sonography in which the fibroid was all gone and everything was completely normal.
