ABSTRACT
This case report examines the effectiveness of Ayurvedic interventions in the treatment of a 40-year-old female patient diagnosed with uterine fibroids, specifically referred to as Mamsaja Granthi in Ayurveda. Uterine fibroids, benign tumours located in the uterus, significantly impede quality of life with symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain and general fatigue. Ayurvedic literature correlates uterine fibroids to doshic imbalances, particularly involving the Kapha and Pitta doshas in the Meda dhatu (fatty tissue). The patient presented with symptoms that had progressively worsened over a year. Initial diagnostics through ultrasonography confirmed a 9.6 mm fibroid on the anterior wall of her uterus. The treatment strategy revolved around Ayurvedic principles, employing a combination of dietary modifications, lifestyle adjustments and a regimen of Ayurvedic medicines all aimed at correcting doshic imbalances and enhancing tissue metabolism. Subjective assessments utilized the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ) and the Uterine Fibroid Symptom Quality of Life (UFS-QOL) questionnaire. The results indicated remarkable improvements, with pain decreasing from 6/10 to 3/10. The QOL score improved from 30/100 to 70/100 and MDQ scores showed decreased menstrual discomfort from 80/100 to 40/100. Objective follow-up with ultrasound post-treatment indicated the resolution of the fibroid, underscoring the potential of Ayurveda in managing and potentially eradicating uterine fibroids. The findings advocate for broader clinical validations and highlight Ayurveda’s integrative potential in contemporary gynaecological care.
